Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

cannot connect to internet
Hi, I have a Dell Dimension E510 desktop. Recently it had a virus so I had to completely erase the system but then I reinstalled Windows XP home. I was not able to reinstall the drivers in order to connect to the internet because I do not have the CD to do so. I'm not sure where or how to find these drivers. Please help!!

Look on the side of the Dell case and use the service tag # to access the drivers for your system at www.dell.com

You download it, then transfer it using a USB FLASH disk or CD-R/RW.

When you click on download it, you will be asked if you want to run it or save it.
Select save, and select my computer>cd drive.. Then it will have a balloon by the task bar telling you that you have files waiting to be burned to cd. Now, put a blank cd in the cd burner drive, click on the balloon it will open a window listing files ready to burn, click on burn to cd. It will then do that for you.
Now take that cd, insert it in the cd drive of the machine needing it and install it.
