Please help me I'm tottally lost.
I have a dell inspiron 1750 laptop which was on vista but I upgraded to windows 7. But it started to crash and I couldn't even turn it on long enough to do anything before it crashed so I reinstalled my windows vista disk that I got with my laptop as the windows 7 disc wouldnt work. I managed to really install it but now I cannot connect to the internet it says I need network adapters and I also have no blue tooth I can't find it anywhere in the laptop. I went on the dell website and found a list of drivers but how do I know which ones I need. There are 38 for my service tag.

I'm using my phone to type this as this is my only internet access at the moment. I can get on another computer at my mums house.

Please help
thanks x

Hello taraheath and welcome to the forums :party:

Before I can provide links, we need to make sure it's for the right thing. In order to do this, I will need you to fill out your System Specs. Use Speccy if you don't know any of them:

Ps. I'm doing this on my phone so bear with me until I can get to a working laptop tomorrow evening. I hope I haven't made myself look like a twit posting those photos. I'm not great with this kind of thing. X

I can bear with anyone and you haven't made yourself look like a twit at all, I ask people to use speccy because it provides a little more detail and its easier to use, but what you've done is just as good :) Have you not got an ethernet cable that you could use to connect to the internet?

You need this driver for your wireless card:

Chose the top download, i.e. the one called ICS_Dv64.exe

I have got a Ethernet cable but I tried to connect with that and it said i needed the drivers for that :confused:I am going to my mums later would It work if I saved the driver's onto a disc or USB stick and then put it in my laptop?

Do you have a drivers and utilities CD that came with your computer? It seems a little strange that you've got no drivers at all! Whenever I've reinstalled Windows, the drivers are included in the installation

Yes that would work fine, a USB drive would be easier :)
