Laptop Problem

[Vashinred]

For at outline of my problem, a story;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have had a laptop, for the last year and after it being a year, I decided to reformat the computer. after reformatting and installing windows (Media Center Edition, 2005) I started it up and no internet. hmmm. After doing this on my other computer a month ago, I had internet and everything. But even after connecting it by wire instead of Wireless, It still did not work.

 

 

 

usually when i close the laptop, it automatically goes into hibrinate. Not the case now as i discovered. its still on and its really pissing me off. Even the scroll thing on the side which is on the touch pad wont work now, and That was the last straw. Does anyone have anything to help? Ive gone through my disks and so far i managed to install Dells wireless card thing but it does nothing. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am really regretting this now. :wall:

Well it seems like your computer is missing all the drivers for the touchpad and all the things that don't seem to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had this problem when I fixed up my friend's laptop. Ran into the exact same problem..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dell has all their drivers online. If you go to their drivers page, you should be able to find ALL the drivers you need. Download them and install them onto your laptop. If your laptop has no internet, then download files onto another computer and transfer them via flash drive.

Yes, it's normally the drivers that are at fault. PC's are different, because mouses don't need drivers. I hope you get back to normal soon!.
