jamesiehs,
The application that you're missing can be re-installed. It's called Dell Dock.
Is this what you're looking for?

jamesiehs,
May I ask how you re-installed the operating system, from the factory image or a clean installation?

jamesiehs,
You said in the top post that you had to re-install Windows. I just wanted to make sure you installed the drivers in the proper order.
The Desktop/Notebook Utility needs to be installed first, then the chipset drivers. If they are NOT installed first, then the rest of the drivers will fail to install.
How to Install Drivers in Microsoft® Windows® on Dell Systems
Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
:emotion-55: Hint :emotion-55: When downloading the drivers, make a folder for each drivers and name it with the device it belongs with to make it easier to install them in the proper order.
Desktop System Software or Notebook System Software
Chipset or SMBus driver
Processor Driver (if applicable)
