Try tapping Fn and F2 (to see if Wireless is switched on or off). When network is listed for your service tag no wireless is listed just your ethernet. So still not sure what one is yours. So try installing all 4 (3 will fail and one will work) • Dell 1395 (R174292)   • Dell 1390 (R173590) • Intel 3495 (R164259) • Dell Wireless 400 USB (R167729) Note for installing the drivers: Running the .exe file Rxxxxxx should extract the driver to C:\Dell\Drivers\Rxxxxxx and then run the installer automatically. If no installer runs, you will need to navigate to this folder and click on any setup.exe files. We will take for example R284334 the chipset driver for my XPS 8300: [IMAGE] Double clicking the file, you should get a run prompt select yes. [IMAGE] Select Continue [IMAGE] Select Ok [IMAGE] Select Ok. At this stage the setup should start and you should start the installation. If it does not the driver is not installed. In my XPS 8300 (and I suspect many other systems) the installers do not automatically run. Therefore in this case I have to go to C:\Dell\Drivers\R284334 (you will have to go to the number of your driver) and click setup. [IMAGE] Accept the UAC prompt and install via the setup program. [IMAGE] Usually a series of clicking next, next, finish and then rebooting. I usually tell it not to reboot until I install all the drivers it is faster this way and always worked for me however it is probably best to reboot when prompted.
I have an Inspiron 1525 which had a corrupted hard drive, I replaced the hard drive and installed theVista operating systems CD that came with the computer, I also installed the drivers and utilities CD( which was labeled reinstalling dell webcam manager), I apparently need more drivers installed as I have no internet access.  Can I download the drivers onto a flash drive on my other lap top then install them on my inspiron 1525?  Please help!  I need this computer back up and running!  Thanks..
