Upgrade to windows 7 affecting my audio and other components
I upgraded my laptop to windows 7 (from vista) but when i did my touchpad, both clickers, my lightup keyboard, and my speakers dont work. There is also some important components that are worrying me for example my fan isnt working and the 2 audio output and mic input ports dont work...... At first i thought it could possibly be drivers but iv tried everything i could along those lines and nothing.
If anyone can help it would be greater appreciated.

Any files i select for downloading are downloaded but the dell driver download manager says there is no file to download. I cant figure out why.

Don't use the Dell download manager, use your browser instead. It is problematic.
Even if the drivers are downloaded, you still need to install them. Double click the files, select run, select yes when the UAC prompt comes up. Generally its a case of pressing yes, yes and then Finish (reboot).
Ensure that you install in the correct order (see iee488's link).
What unit do you have is it a Dell Studio 1737? Did you do a clean install of Windows 7? Please provide some more information so we can further assist? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

Run ccleaner. Let it clean out your browser history. Do not select Dell download manager but simply select download via your web browser.
