I recently installed my WIndows XP home edition with service pack 2 to my laptop and some of the drivers for my dell inspiron e1505 are missing.

I tried going to the dell website to install the drivers and the application file could not be read (EXE files). The only reason i reformatted my computer because i started receiving messages like 'application could not be read by win32'. Patch my tomtom system download.

The missing drivers are(under other drivers): ethernet controller, pci driver, base system device X3, network controller, SM Bus controller, Video.

Unable to verify windows xp w/o internet access. The missing drivers are(under other drivers): ethernet controller, pci driver, base system device X3, network controller, SM Bus controller, Video Controller, Video controller (vga compatible).

I already tried connecting my ethernet cord directly to the cable modem and it still doesn't work. Usually people that visit just have to connect their internet cord to access the internet. I tried connecting wirelessly and i have a feeling that driver is missing on my dell. I tried setup a connection and doesn't work the option that automatically detects internet.

Before i formatted the computer, the computer had no problems connecting wireless and to the internet. Just all the these drivers are gone. If only i cannot connect to the internet i should be able to go to dell sites and install software. When i visit the dell drivers download list, it tries to install to my computer.

I don't want to install it to my PC (which other computer). Just using my PC to download stuff on usb and transfer to laptop, but none of the files could be read. I also noticed before i download stuff, it requires.net framework, which my laptop doesn't have. Having no access to the internet, I cannot get updates, but the installation cd i got has service pack 2. I tried to access the dell drivers download and says requires.net framework 3.5 sp1, and.net framework 1.0. I'm currently downloading files from driverscollection.com so i can just install the setup files and see if they work Edited by Doomsis, 21 April 2011 - 02:22 PM.

Yeah it sounds exactly like you're drivers are missing. You can double check by right clicking my computer > manage > device manager, you will probably see a bunch of question marks/exclamation points. If you go to the Dell site, you should be able to download a single driver for the ethernet controller. Try this link: Go to Network and look for 'broadcom driver for 10/100 integrated controller'.

Don't click add to list, just click the download link. Save it to your desktop, then transfer it via usb and install it on the Dell. Reboot and then plug in your ethernet cable, hopefully you can get online. If that works you can install all Windows updates, then go back to the link and add all your drivers to the list and download easier with dell driver download manager.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 that I've upgraded with a T5600 Core 2 Duo CPU, a pair of PC5300 2gig SODIMMs and a 500 gig hard drive. I downloaded the 'media refresh' X17-59465.iso updated x64 ISO of Windows 7 and made a bootable USB stick to install it.

Partway through installing it popped an error about not having a driver. Restarted, it boots off the hard drive, gets to the Starting Services screen then pops another box saying it can't install Windows. I know other people have installed x64 Win 7 on this exact model with a Core 2 Duo CPU upgrade so what's the trick to making it work? I also know it will use around 3.5gig of RAM. Would going back to the 1.5gig of PC4200 that was in it get Win7 to complete its install? Unplug all other HD's and peripherals, Boot into BIOS setup, reset to defaults, save changes. If an EFI BIOS you'll need to decide if you want If otherwise enable Legacy BIOS or Compatibility Support Module to proceed with normal install: Set DVD drive first to boot, HD second, set SATA controller to AHCI, Save changes and Exit.
