Trouble installing drivers on my laptop ?????

Mikey One

So here's the problem i'm having.
After installing the OS on my new hard drive, as i broke the old one (don't ask )
some of the drivers aren't installed and no disc for them came with my laptop.
My computer is a Dell Inspirion / 6400.

I have gone to the dell website and looked at the driver downloads but can't figure out which one's i need.
In device manager there is a few with a ? and ! mark beside them, they are ;

Base System Device
Base System Device
Base System Device
SM Bus Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

Has anyone else had this problem or know how i can fix it.
Can anyone tell me which driver software i need?
Please Help....

Do you have your network drivers installed?

If so goto the support page of the website and let it scan for your tag numer.

It will give you the exact drivers you need.

Never seen the service tag was just putting in the make and getting a load of different types.

Thanks everyone for the replies, i'll try this now.

Hi, I've a driver issue of my own, thought I'd post it here instead of starting new thread.

In the last couple of hours my touchpad sidebar slider has stopped working. Some quick research says it could be a drivers issue.

I've gone to: Device Manager>Mice & other pointing devices, but cant see anything about my touchpad or slider.

Should I update the pointer driver?

Any help much appreciated....

I'd say just re-install the drive
Go to the manufacturer web site and download the driver and install, you should get an option to install over the existing one...

I had the same trouble and doing this worked for me.
Good Luck
