    I'm fixing to do a clean install of Vista on my 1530 and was wondering what the correct order to install the drivers is? I looked and Dell's support site and it is a generic list. Any help would be great!

    Do you have a drivers and utilities CD? What you really need is the networking drivers; the rest you can install from the Dell website.

    There is no "correct order", but if you install the drivers from the CD and then the remaining ones from support.dell, you'll be fine.

    See the Dell Clean Install Guide. It'll help you through the process.
