Cant install dell wireless 1390 mini-card for Dell Inspiron 6400 XP

By "rebootiing" do  you mean that you reformatted the hard drive and resintalled Windows?  IF so, did you install the drivers in the proper order?

 

What order do the drivers need to be installed in Windows XP on my Dell desktop or portable computer?

WOOT I DID THIS STUFF AND GUESS WHAT!!!! IT DIDNT WORK BOY AM I HAPPY I GET ERROR 778 WHEN INSTALLING THE CARRD PLZ HELP

Please explain!  Did you install the drivers in the correct order immediately after you reformatted and reinstalled Windows or did you install some drivers, read then read the message in my last post, and go back in and try to install the drivers in the correct order.  If you even attempted to install other drivers before the chipset drivers were loaded, it probably did not work.  You could try going in and uninstalling all drivers, then load the chipset drivers, then the other drivers, but usually this doesn't work either, and the only thing to do is start all over - reformatting, reinstalling Windows, then installing the drivers in the correct order.

click that link!!!

 

You can't install in the wrong order and then just reinstall the drivers in the correct order.  As I said before you will probably after start over from the beginning and then after reformatting and installing Windows, install the drivers in the correct order.  For your system.

 

install first - Notebook System Software

then install - Mobile Chipset

audio drivers - STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio

video drivers - 945GM Graphics Controller

ethernet network driver - 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller

wireless network driver - Wireless 1390 WLAN MiniCard

touchpad drivers - Touchpad

modem driver - D110,HDA,MDC,v.92,modem

Quickset Utility - QuickSet

 

Good luck.
