Dell XPS M1530 Windows Vista reinstalled, Ethernet, Network and Biometric controllers not working. Drivers not present with the CD package

I am surprised why the CD packs that came with laptop are not having these basic driver CD.

Anyway, please help with the necessary drivers for my M1530.

Also, by default its not allowing 3D rendering screensaver. I had very fggod graphic card of 2007. Please suggest the link for this as well. Hope service tag will give all necessary information.

That system came with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit with SP1. If you only used the Dell Windows Vista Home Premium Reinstallation DVD then only Windows would have been installed.

Windows Vista is becoming aged and you may wish to consider installing Windows 10 TP instead (and then upgrading to the Windows 10 RTM when its released):

Assuming you want to stick to Vista... Drivers came with a separate Resource DVD but these will be old and its best to download the more up to date ones listed on the Dell FTP website...
