Manually Reinstalling Drivers
Overview
Your Dell™ computer shipped to you with all of the drivers and utilities it needs to run correctly already
installed-no further installation or configuration is needed. This section explains how to use the Dell Drivers
and Utilities CD to reinstall drivers and utilities on your computer.
Before reinstalling drivers or utilities, ensure that you are installing the correct one for your operating
system. The Drivers and Utilities CD may contain drivers for operating systems that are not on your
computer. For example, if your operating system is Microsoft® Windows® 2000, do not install a Windows 98
audio driver.
To reinstall drivers for optional devices such as wireless communications, DVD drives, and Zip drives, see the
software CD and documentation that came with those devices.
Reinstalling Drivers and Utilities
NOTICE: The Dell support website, support.dell.com, and the Drivers and Utilities CD provide
approved drivers for Dell computers. If you install drivers from other sources, your computer might
not work correctly.
Save your work in all open programs. 1.

your CD drive directory to display the CD contents, and then double-click the autorcd application file.
If a welcome screen appears, click Next. The first time that you run the CD, it might prompt you to
install some setup files. Click OK and follow the instructions on the screen to continue.
From the Language pull-down menu in the toolbar, select your preferred language for the driver or
utility (if available). 3.
