Reinstalling Drivers

NOTICE:
The Dell | Support website and the Dell Dimension ResourceCD provide approved drivers for Dell computers. If you install drivers obtained from
other sources, your computer might not work correctly.
A driver is a software program that allows a hardware device controller to function properly and to communicate with the computer. Sometimes you can fix a
device problem by reinstalling its driver:
1.  From the Windows desktop, insert the Dell Dimension ResourceCD into the CD or DVD drive.
If this is your first time to use the ResourceCD, go to
2.  When the ResourceCD Installation program starts, follow the prompts on the screen.
3.  When the InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears, remove the ResourceCD and click Finish to restart the computer.
4.  When you see the Windows desktop, reinsert the ResourceCD into the CD or DVD drive.
5.  At the Welcome Dell System Owner screen, click Next.
HINT:
The ResourceCD displays drivers only for hardware that Dell installed at the time of purchase. If you installed any additional hardware, those
drivers may not be displayed by the ResourceCD. If those drivers are not displayed, exit the ResourceCD program and refer to the documentation and
drivers that came with that product.
A message appears that says the ResourceCD is detecting hardware in your computer.
The drivers that are used by your computer are automatically displayed in the My Drivers—The ResourceCD has identified these components in your
system window.

2.  Verify that your operating system is selected in the Operating System list.
3.  Select the type of device in the Device Type list.
NOTICE:
The ResourceCD contains drivers for devices that are not part of your computer. Only reinstall the specific drivers for hardware included in your
computer. Otherwise, your computer might not work correctly.
4.  Select a topic in the Topic list.
If you select Drivers in the Topic list and a particular driver is not listed, then that driver is not required by your operating system.
