MIssing my network controller driver after re-installed windows 7

Hi, I hope someone can find a solution to this problem, I have to re-installed windows 7 on my DELL Xps 17 due to a problem with Mcafee Software. Thinking that I would resolve one problem I end up with another one bigger than the first one, so know I am missing my network controller driver which I can not find any ware. That is the only drive that I need for my wireless to work, and I am going a bit mad here try to find a solution, Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Nikhil...

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)

Can you please give me the solutions?Thanks.

Hi Sidarth1234,

Please use these links to install the drivers for Intel HD graphics: http://dell.to/1g8rNGE

Quickset Application: http://dell.to/GBAMCZ

Restart the system after installing the drivers and check the functionality.

Please post the results.

Hey Nikhil,

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.
Please help.
I bought my laptop using this link.

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:

  1. Click “Start”. Right click “My computer”.
  2. Click “Manage” and select “Device Manager”.
  3. On the “Device Manager” window, expand “Display adapters” or “Other devices”.
  4. Check if the card is detected.

Please post the results.

Hi Sidarth1234,
Make sure you install Intel HD Graphics driver and without restarting install the nvidia drivers  in order to use the switchable graphics.

Hi Malixole,

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:

Below are the steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode:

  • Click on the link shared above and download the drivers on the desktop.
  • Double click on the file and extract it on the desktop in a folder.
  • Look for setup file in the extracted folder. Right click ‘.exe’ file and click ‘Properties’.
  • Click 'install in compatibility mode’.
  • Click on Application and select ‘Troubleshoot Compatibility’.
  • Next, click on ‘Troubleshoot Program’.
  • Click on Program worked in earlier versions of Windows.
  • Click on ‘Windows Vista’.
  • Click on ‘Start the Program’.
  • Do not hit ‘Next’ until the installation completes.
  • Once the installation completes, click on ‘Next’.

Hope this helps. If the issue still persist you might have to rollback to the previous version of the Windows Installed on the system.
