    There are none available for Vista yet.
     
    Try installing the one for XP using this method
     
    This XP install may work, no guarantee of this.
     
    Here is how to install software or drivers on Vista that are for XP
     
    Dell Drivers must be extracted first, download the Rxxxx.exe files you need from Dell and use winzip to extract the files to a folder, then use the following method to install them.
    Right click on this setup.exe file and select the compatibility Tab
    Tick the "run this file in compatibility mode" box and then select XP in the drop down box, tick the "run as Administrator" box if it is available, hit OK
    Now double click this setup.exe file to execute the install process, hopefully all will go well and install the drivers you need.
    I do not guarantee all drivers or software to work but a large percentage do..
     
    Good luck.
     
    This method will work for other software such as printers using this method, but you may have to Skip the Extract part, if the exe does not require it, you will know because there will be no extract available in winzip for it.

    mombodog,
    Don´t you think a Quickset for Vista like for a E1505, E1501, ec... may work on that Inspiron??? I mean, instead of use one for XP, will it be diferent?
    I´ll try one for a E1505 for Vista before use one for XP...

    Sounds like an experiment, but may work.
