Hey Guys,

I just picked up a used Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop, once I got home I reinstalled XP, the install seemed to work but I can’t log onto the net due to “no wired or wireless network cards”, I’m assuming I just need to download the drivers but I can’t get online to do that and Dell makes you use their download manager that seems to make it so I can’t download it on another computer to transfer over. Any suggestions?

Thanks
-Justin

Thanks for the quick reply but as I said when you download from Dell’s site it automatically installs the drivers as well. I need to download them on one computer then install them on the laptop.

Nevermind... i think i may have figured it out!

You should be given the option when you click on the download button to either open or save the file.
I would rename each file for what it is.
Chipset
Network
Audio
Video
Then save them in one folder on your desktop.
Then burn those all to a cd or something in case you need them later. Better yet download them all renaming them as I said for what they are. Then you will have them all on one disk for the future.

I guess i had already downloaded thier download manager so it would auto download and install, once i removed the manager it let me save.

Thanks for the advise, we're up and running !!!
