All of your computer's drivers for Dell-installed devices are operative when you receive the
computer. No further installation or configuration is needed. However, if you ever need to
reinstall any of these drivers, the driver files are provided on the System Software CD. For
instructions on reinstalling a particular driver, see the following subsection that corresponds to
that driver.
Often device problems can be corrected by reinstalling the appropriate drivers. Also, hardware
manufacturers frequently provide updated drivers that support feature enhancements or that
correct problems. Obtain updated drivers for products purchased from Dell at the Dell World
Wide Web support site (http://support.dell.com).
NOTICE: Drivers available on the Dell Web site have been validated for correct operation
on Dell systems. Installing drivers obtained from other sources may cause errors or
performance degradation.
