Base system device missing vostro 1000

Gave winows 7 a try, then reverted to vista, saying need base system driver, i know its something about the chipset/smart.... but honestly dont know what driver i need to install. Is this also reason my wireless isnt working. Reinstalled dell wireless software still no luck.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums :emotion-21:

 

 

 

i know its something about the chipset/smart...

 

It's actually the media card reader :emotion-5:

 

 

Re wireless: Did you install both the network drivers, and the drivers for your particular wireless card?

 

But Dell's drivers need to be installed in a certain order.

Not installing them in that order, *can* lead to problems :emotion-55:

 

 

 

Gave winows 7 a try, then reverted to vista...

 

:emotion-3:  Why

What didn't you like about Windows 7/what is it you prefer about Vista?

Or was it maybe because you had trouble finding compatible Windows 7 drivers for some of the components?

If it was the latter... did you try the Vista drivers?

Just liked vista better and couldnt find driver for an epson printer. Mind was same when switched xp to vista.
