okay  forgive me if I'm a couple of questions I don't know. What's your OS. XP, Vista?

second of all what browser are you using? cause IE gives a little bar up by the tabs , saying something like  Internet Explorer has blocked this download,.. Using the mouse I believe it will allow  you to continue the download if you right click?

Just a Thought: I experienced the same thing a few months ago. I was on a trusted sight, Like my ISP, or Mcafee....Whenever I pressed their download button to get something, Nothing happened, no error message, no nothing.....Finally did a Malware/spyware scan and removed several undesirables, and download began working

capricorn55,

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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)
Video
Audio (sound)
Input Drivers (keyboard/mouse)
Modem
Network Card

QuickSet(Laptop only)

Driver finder is a scam.  You dont need to ever pay for dell drivers.

its extortion ware like the malware that says you have a virus and you need to buy software to fix it when it is in fact a malware that is extorting money.
