    You will need to download them from your online computer and transfer them over.

    I have installed... every single driver from the Dell support drivers website.... I am at a loss... maybe I missed one or maybe the install didn't work.

    I still have two issues....

    Device Manager (unknown Devices)

    Network Controller
    PCI Device

    It says they are unknown.... can someone tell me what excact file to download, I have tried all the ones I can think of off the support drivers site, is there one that it would be mis labeled... ?? anything ???
