XPS M1330 can not find network card after reinstalling Windows Vista

Hi all

I'm passing my computer to a member of his family and wanted to give them a new installation, so I used the disc of Windows Vista (32-bit SP1) shipped with the laptop and reinstalled Vista on the computer. Everything worked fine until I wanted to connect to the internet, then Windows tells that there are no available networks. When I chose "Why doesn't windows find all networks" he stated that "this computer doesn't have a wireless network installed and configured card". I put in the Dell driver and Utilities CD that shipped with the computer and installed the drivers which seemed related to networking or communications, but the problem persists. I guess it's some sort of driver problem (as the computer used wireless before the reformat (a few hours ago) and so the device itself seems to work.)

I would greatly appreciate any help to get this race. :)

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

Please share the system model and the operating system installed on your computer?

If you are facing problems with the wireless, you can follow the steps below to check if the drivers are listed as installed in the Device Manager:

  • Press 'Windows' + 'R' key on keyboard.
  • Type "devmgmt.msc" into the box run without quotes.
  • In the Device Manager window, expand network adapters and verify if your wireless card is on the list.

If the wireless driver is not present in the system and is displayed as a network controller in the section other devices with a yellow question mark, you can download the drivers from the link: http://dell.to/QjjZDA -> Enter-> the serial number of your system, select the operating system-> expand the category network to download/install wireless drivers

I hope this helps. Please respond to the findings.

  • I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running).

    I have a new HP computer and I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running).  When you try to open an attachment, the bar downstairs quickly moves to the right, but never appears a dialog box asking if you want to open or save the file.  Error message I get when I try to resolve it with the suggested steps indicates "module"wintrust.dll"was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.  I tried to do the same command prompt, but still not received the same error.  Thanks for help anything.

    Hi Paul,.

    Have you tried to download an attachment after you turn off your antivirus?
    I had a problem in the past where the system was performed at Trend Micro Internet Security and Web content filtering (I think that's what it was called) was preventing attachments from download.
    I would like to know what are your results!

    Hello

    Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

    It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

  • Can not find the driver to reinstall Vista

    A few days earlier, some spyware masquerading as antivirus program itself wrote to my computer. We did a job of restoration with the emachines operating system provided with the computer disc. Now, my computer knows unique mistakes, such as the software does not download properly. We managed to get the spy software on the computer, and I had an antivirus program installed when this all happened.

    Now I want to reinstall Windows Vista. The implementation works well until we get to the part "select a driver." First of all, I've never done this before, so I have no idea what the driver is if it is already on my computer. I tried the C, D, E and F same (removable disk) players, and it would not accept these. I started to pull down randomly in the drop-down menus and records randomly picking. Yes, he did not like these either.

    I tried to insert a flash drive, without success. Tried a blank CD, without success. I tried the disk operating system machines, and it was not accepted.

    So, now, I don't know what to do. (BTW, I found a Norton internet security CD I didn't know I had, so let's install that after I have work on all this other stuff.) In addition, the amount of RAM is recommended for Vista? "I have only 1 GB of RAM).

  • After reinstall Window Vista 32 bit, I can't move the slider to increase the resolution of the screen, how do I solve this problem

    My Dell Inspiron 530 sudenlly crashed, I could not start it. I called for the support of a group that I paid for. Technicians helped me start the PC, but they could not fix the screen resolution: in the display settings window, the cursor is on the left end of the bar, the low position and could not be moved. The technician finally asked me to save the folders files and reinstall Windows Vista. After the relocation, the screen resolution problem persisted. Technicians then reformat the HD, then reinstall Windows Vista again, the result was the same. We cannot change the resolution. Help, please.
