    Ever since I formated I keep getting found new hardware for something. In the device manager the only thing with a ? mark is under other devices "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus"

    What driver do I need to download to fix this? Im pretty sure I installed all of the drivers from dells website. Thanks in advance.

    lol I finally found my service number, actually I did the "detect my service number" option in the support help on dells website. It installed and detected it and then put me on chat support.

    I was connected and helped extremely fast they did a remote assistant thing and took over my comp. The problem was some driver for the modem but the person went to inspirion 6400/e1505 section to download it. I would have had no idea that it was there... lol but it worked and the thing is gone now in my device manager so that was cool.

    They could have just gave me a link to it to download my self but I still think that way of helping is pretty cool. It shows you exactly what to do and fun to watch and make them do all the work :p
