Reinstalling drivers and
Applications
Drivers and applications are software that enables Windows (or another operating
system) to communicate with the hardware devices and software in your computer.
Devices such as video and sound cards require drivers to function correctly within
Windows, and require applications to enable users to adjust hardware settings.
The Windows reinstallation includes drivers for most devices, but device-specific drivers
may have to be downloaded and installed separately. Dell recommends that you
download the device drivers for your Dell computer from Drivers & Downloads.
Applications must be downloaded and installed separately. Dell recommends that you
download the required applications for your Dell computer from the Dell Download
Center.
