The drivers on the CD are probably correct, but you can use support at the Dell site to enter your service tag and you'll find everything you need.

You don't need to have an internet connection to give me the information that I requested in the Device Manager.

I'm trying to assist you in getting the necessary drivers, but I need the requested information first.

Does your laptop have a workable CD burner drive so you can burn a CD?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

[sasukecures]

Yes icant burn with the laptop, and sorry if im slow :[
the only drivers u told me that i see in the device manager is sound, vid and game controllers

Audio codecs
Legacy audi. drivers
legacy vid capture deviced
media control devices
video condecs

[sasukecures]

wait nvm ican burn with laptop -.-

[sasukecures]

so ican jus download the drivers on the site u gave me and burn then in a cd and jus install them on the other comp?

[flavallee]

Yes, you can download the drivers from the Dell site and burn them off to a CD-R.

The sound drivers isn't a problem because there's only one listed - Analog Devices ADI 198x Integrated Audio.

The wired network adapter driver isn't a problem because there's only one listed - Intel PRO/100 VE.

http://support.dell.com/support/down...&fileid=103900

The video driver is a problem though because there's 2 different drivers - one for the Intel 865G and one for the Intel 845G/GL.

http://support.dell.com/support/down...&fileid=104486

My guess would be to install the 845G/GL driver, but it would be nice to know for sure.

--------------------------------------------------------------

In the Device Manager, there's NOTHING listed for "Display Adapters" or "Network Adapters"?

Is there a heading for "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices"?

---------------------------------------------------------------

[sasukecures]

Yes thers Other devices
ethernet Cnotroller
Multimedia audio controller
video controller (Vga compatible)

[flavallee]

Other Devices
Yes thers Other devices
ethernet Cnotroller
Multimedia audio controller
video controller (Vga compatible)

The drivers for the display adapter, sound device, and network adapter all need to be installed.
