Overview
Dell provides software utilities and drivers that help you control certain features of your computer. The
utilities and drivers for Dell-installed devices are installed and operative when you receive the
computer. If you ever need to reinstall any of these drivers, you can use the Dell Drivers and Utilities
CD that came with your computer.
Often, device problems can be corrected by reinstalling the appropriate drivers. Also, hardware
manufacturers frequently provide updated drivers that support feature enhancements or that correct
problems. Obtain updated drivers for products purchased from Dell at the Dell support website, http://
support.dell.com.
NOTICE: Drivers available on the Dell support website have been validated for correct
operation on Dell™ computers. Installing drivers obtained from other sources may cause errors
or performance degradation.
To reinstall drivers and utilities, you need the following items:
● Dell Drivers and Utilities CD
● CD drive or DVD drive installed in the media bay
HINT: Your Drivers and Utilities CD contains drivers for operating systems that may not be on
your computer. Verify that the driver you are loading is under your operating system
subdirectory.
Dell recommends that you print these procedures before you begin.
