    I have been stupid and inadvertently downloaded and installed drivers on my Dell Inspiron Laptop but the most important (I think) namely Dell System Software wasn't installed first as I now realize it should have been. I have tried and tried to install but it doesn't complete the process and my laptop is not running as it should. Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks.

    Dell system software is nothing else than microsoft windows updates, if you downloaded them from microsoft automatic update then you dont need them.
