When you see the Windows desktop, reinsert the ResourceCD into the

CD or DVD drive.

5

At the Welcome Dell System Owner screen, click Next.

HINT: The

ResourceCD

displays drivers only for
hardware that Dell
installed at the time of
purchase. If you installed
any additional hardware,
those drivers may not be
displayed by the

ResourceCD. If those
drivers are not displayed,
exit the ResourceCD
program and refer to the
documentation and
drivers that came with
that product.

A message appears that says the ResourceCD is detecting hardware in

your computer.
The drivers that are used by your computer are automatically displayed

in the My Drivers—The ResourceCD has identified these

components in your system window.

Click the driver that you want to reinstall and follow the instructions

on the screen.
If a particular driver is not listed, then that driver is not required by

your operating system.

To view other contents on the ResourceCD:

1

Verify that your computer is selected in the System Model list.

2

Verify that your operating system is selected in the Operating System

list.

3

Select the type of device in the Device Type list.

NOTICE: The

ResourceCD contains drivers for devices that are not part of

your computer. Only reinstall the specific drivers for hardware included in your
computer. Otherwise, your computer might not work correctly.

4

Select a topic in the Topic list.
If you select Drivers in the Topic list and a particular driver is not

listed, then that driver is not required by your operating system.

Using the Windows XP Device Driver Rollback

The Windows XP Device Driver Rollback can replace a device driver with
the previously installed version if you install a new device driver that causes
system instability. If you cannot reinstall your previous driver with the
Driver Rollback process, then use System Restore (see page 49) to attempt
to return your operating system to its previous operating state before the
new device driver installation:

1

Click the Start button, and then right-click My Computer.

2

Click Properties.
