Latest Drivers for Inspiron 9200 running XP Pro
I have an Inspiron 9200 using XP Pro as on OS which I have recently rebuilt be downloading drivers. Does DELL offer a scan of some type to detect whether the unit has all the drivers it should have loaded and if any of the drivers need to be updated?
I'm new to the Forum and haven't had a DELL for a number of years.

Nope - Dell doesn't offer a driver scanning tool. It's been requested for years, but no luck.
You pretty much have to do it the hard way - check your device manager, then go to support.dell.com, Drivers and Downloads, enter either model or service tag, and see what's listed. Since you mentioned rebuilding, check out the link on the drivers page on "Driver Install Instructions" - system software and chipset should go in first, then the remaining components.
Also, Dell doesn't usually offer any updates once a model goes out of production - whatever version Dell has is likely to be the last revision you'll ever get. The latest drivers listed (for Audio and Wireless Wlan) date to 2007 - most of the rest date to 2004/2005.
