Diskette Maker, click the Start button and point to Programs. Then point to Dell
Accessories and click Program Diskette Mak er . If your computer is part of a centrally
managed network, check with your network administrator for information on
reinstalling drivers and utilities.
If you are a network administrator and you received the Network Administrator’s Kit,
Dell provides drivers and utilities for Windows 95 on diskettes. Normally, you should
install the drivers on the managing server and then use Intel® LANDesk® Configura-
tion Manager to download and install the drivers on an OptiPlex GX1 Managed PC
system or an OptiPlex NX1 Net PC system. See your online
Network Administrator’s Guide
for information on downloading and installing drivers over the network.
To reinstall DirectX drivers locally on a system with a diskette drive, follow these
steps:
1. If you have not done so already, create a program diskette set of drivers as
described previously. Or, if you received the Network Administrator’s Kit, locate
the diskettes containing drivers and utilities.
2. If you reinstalled Windows 95, make sure Universal Serial Bus (USB) support was
reinstalled along with the operating system.
USB support is enabled when Windows 95 is installed by Dell. However, if you
need to reinstall the operating system, USB support should also be reinstalled.
See your system’s
Reference and Installation Guide
or your online
Network Administrator’s Guide
for more information.
