Did you happen to reinstall your OS?

If you did, that means that you did not download the chipset drivers and install them.

You can find them HERE.

Thanks for the info.

I ended up finding out that I needed the drivers for the sd slot.

Make sure you install all of the drivers for the system.  The full list, and the order they should be installed in are:

• Dell™ Notebook System Software
• Intel® Mobile Chipset Driver
• Mobile Intel® GMA X3100 Video Controller
• Ricoh® Media Card Reader Driver
• Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip (Intel Turbo Memory)
• Broadcom® 59xx 10/100 Integrated Network Controller
• Wireless driver (if applicable)
• IDT® STAC 9205 Audio Driver
• MDC driver
• Dell Touch Pad Driver
• Bluetooth® driver and stack
