Reinstalling Drivers

NOTICE: The Dell support website, http://support.dell.com, 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.

Dell installed the following drivers on your computer:

•Intel® Chip Set Update Utility Driver — Installs the Microsoft Windows operating system device installation files (.inf) that tell the operating system how certain chip set components should be configured for proper operation.

•ADI AC-97 Audio Codec Driver — Enables the optional built-in sound controller to produce sound.

•Yamaha Wavetable Driver — Enables the optional built-in sound controller to produce sound.

•Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver — Improves your computer's performance by transferring certain functions from the microprocessor during data transfers from storage devices.

•Other Drivers — Controls the devices such as the modem and network cards that might be installed in your computer. For information on those drivers, click the Start button, point to Programs—>User's Guides, and click the appropriate guide from the list.

Sometimes you can fix a device problem by reinstalling its driver:

1From 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 step 2. If not, go to step 5.

2When the ResourceCD Installation program starts, follow the prompts on the screen.

3When the InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears, remove the ResourceCD and click Finish to restart the computer.

4When you see the Windows desktop, reinsert the ResourceCD into the CD or DVD drive.

5At the Welcome Dell System Owner screen, click Next.

A message appears that says the ResourceCD is detecting hardware in your computer.
