Which operating system?
Vista Home Edition
Changed that. It's listed for Vista here:

I'm guessing you mean WIRELESS and ethernet drivers.Quote:

You need to confirm which wireless chip you have first. Dell lists 3 different ones.
Try PCI-Z portable

32 or 64 bit?Quote:
Vista Home Edition
Hi PhotoLady, Unfortunately, that did not work.
What didn't work? And you need to answer Midknyte too.Quote:

Hi Midknye,
The portable apps tool work nicely and I have a list of the laptop components and vendors. I am working through this and I will update you. Also, I am using Vista 32 bit version. Thanks!!
Hi Midknyte,
I was able to get everything up and running. Thanks an aweful lot for your help. Thanks to PhotoLady for your input. Jim
So what was it? Were you just installing the wrong drivers? Like I said, there are multiple wifi configurations for that model.
Hi Midknyte,
After I realized the not all drivers use the MS Device Manager facility to install drivers, I was able to get the drivers to load correctly. My laptop is not running fine. Thanks again for your help!
