Resolving Other Technical Problems
Reinstalling Drivers and Utilities
The Dell Drivers and Utilities CD for your computer contains drivers for
operating systems that may not be on your computer. Verify that the driver
you are loading is under your operating system subdirectory.
You can also access and download new drivers, system tools, and
documentation from Dell's technical support page at
http://support.dell.com. For more information on using the operating
system installed on your computer by Dell, see the operating system user's
guide that came with your computer.
NOTICE: Before you reinstall drivers, make sure that your computer is
undocked.
To install a driver or utility from your Drivers and Utilities CD, perform the
following steps:
1 Save your work in all open programs.
2 Insert your Drivers and Utilities CD into the CD or DVD drive.
In most cases, the CD should start running automatically. If it does
not, start Microsoft® Windows® Explorer, click your CD drive
directory to display the CD contents, and then click the Start.htm file.
3 Click a language button to select your preferred user interface
language.
