Here's the link to Dell for your model, http://support.euro.dell.com/support...os=WW1&osl=EN#

Set a System restore Point before installing drivers just in case

First install the Chipset , Intel Software Installation Utility then RESTART your comp.

See this information from Intel

************************************************** **********
* 1. OVERVIEW
************************************************** **********
The Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility installs
Windows* INF files to the target system. These files outline
to the operating system how to configure the Intel(R) chipset
components in order to ensure that the following features
function properly:

- Core PCI and ISAPNP Services
- PCIe Support
- IDE/ATA33/ATA66/ATA100 Storage Support
- SATA Storage Support
- USB Support
- Identification of Intel(R) Chipset Components in
the Device Manager

then you can install the audio and othr drivers you need

Hope this helps

thanks i got it working
