Thank you for your reply.The wifi and the usb drivers worked fine but as for the graphics driver,I'm getting a message "You must install an intel driver first" when checking for system compatibility(the first step) during the installation.
Also,I have two more problems.
1)When i press fn+2 ,the wireless button, the light (the wireless light)in my laptop does not go on or off (always stays off)but my wireless works fine.Why is that so?
2)I have no option to set the brightness of my monitor in the control panel(the brightness slider isn't there and the fn keys don't work)
I have installed both the things now.Still,the wireless indication light never comes on if i use fn+2.(but it does turn the wifi off or on..maybe the problem is with the light...)
I also have a serious doubt - why do i have Intel HD graphics adapter when i had ordered for Nvidia Geforce GT730M/2GB GDDR3 ? Have i been cheated?
It shows in the display properties that my adapter type is intel hd graphics 4000.I even have the geforce sticker stuck on my laptop.
I have the same laptop as Candel and i have the same problem but my laptop's OS is windows7 32 bits, i do have ethernet controller driver installed but under other devices i have 3X Base System Device that are not installed.
PLZ help as i cant connect to the internet with this laptop. i check out the links u posted here but is seems like they are XP and Vista Competable.
Dell Inspiron 1525 model was tested with Windows XP and Vista. Hence, Windows 7 drivers are not available for this system. However, I am sharing the drivers for Windows Vista 32Bit version. Try installing them and check if they work. If the issue still persists, try installing the drivers in compatibility mode. Below are the drivers:
The first and second installed fine and worked for the SM Bus, but when I installed the third I got the following error: "This product cannot support downgrading from version 2.1.1.0153 to version 1.1.0.0537. Please uninstall the product and try again or contact the product vendor." I still have the exclamation point over the network controller.
I'm not familiar with which product it is referring to.
The Auto Driver Detect wasn't able to discover the driver. Gave an error saying it wasn't recognized or not supported. BUT- there was an option to visit the Intel Download Center to look through "generic" drivers, located at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx. Using my service tag, I went back to Dell.com to find out the name of the chipset that my system was shipped with (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230). Found it using the dropboxes and downloaded the software it recommended. That did the trick and I am squared away. Thank you for the assistance, I wouldn't have found the website without your suggestions!

Hi Sidarth1234,
After Intel HD video card drivers are installed, have you tried installing Drivers for Nvidia Geforce GT730M ?
If not, please use this link to install NVidia Graphics driver:http://dell.to/1g4s653
Restart the computer after the driver is installed and check in Device manager if the Nvidia Geforce GT730M is detected under Display adapters:
Please post the results.
