    ok guys you may get tired of me asking too many question but believe me, I've been doing my part, looking on the web to get what I need, like I finally got my sound back, Quickset by dell, my wireles card etc etc.

    But this to "video controller" and "video controller (VGA compatible)" still can't find the way to fix them, I went to dell's drivers download page and the drivers don't fix the problem!!! I've been told that I need my video controller working so I can put my computer into standby or hibernate, since that option is not working on my computer. My computer works fine but I really would like to fix this two issues!!!

    Ethernet Controller is another device that is not working, but I'm not too worried about it since I can connect to the internet using my wireless card, but if any of you know how to fix it please tell me. I like to have my computer working 100%

    Thanks guys, and believe me, I'm doing my part :)

    Enter your service tag number which you can find on the bottom of your laptop. It will show you all the drivers associated with your laptop including your video drivers. Then download them.

    Out of all the threads you've created you haven't listed the components of your laptop. ;)
