Hi There My laptop has the same problems, and have been recently formatted. First is that the desktop is sort of like in the safe mode with enlarged text. Also I have those yello exclamation marks over Ether Controller Network Controller PCI Simple Communications Controller SM Bus Controller It is a Dell Inspiron N5050 Please I need your expertise help because I have no file back-up and would really like to keep my files.

I have sort of the same issue. Recently had to reinstall Windows Vista on my wife`s Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop due to a virus. The reinstall went OK, but I can`t connect to the web. From what I can see in the Device Manager under 'Other devices' the Network controller has a yellow triangle with a '!' on it, I`m guessing that`s the issue. When I go under the Network Controller`s property tab details the device ID has VEN_14E4&DEV_4315&SUBSYS_000B1028&REV_01\4&B04E914&0&00E1 any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

That is the Dell Wireless 1395 card.

Before installing the drivers make sure you have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 installed.

After the OS update you need to install the Drivers in the correct order, starting with Dell System Software and then the Intel Chipset... The drivers can be downloaded from here using your computer and saving to a USB flash drive:

For more details on driver installation see here:

http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/downloading-drivers-checking-hardware-ids-and-downloading-and-installing-dell-system-drivers-in-the-correct-order/

Note the example is given for Windows 8.1 and is slightly different but not much.

Thanks for your help & suggestions. I did what you mentioned in the above post, but I`m still at the same stage as I was before with no web connection. I installed both service packs, the Dell System Software & then the Intel Chipset drivers but nothing changed. Please excuse me as I am not that great when it comes to computers, I know a little but that`s pretty much it. Any other suggestions???

I think I may have fixed the issue, I just DL`d then installed this Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN MiniCard, v.4.170.77.3 (Driver); 4.170.77.13 (Application), A20

THANKS AGAIN! If I still have problems with the web connect I will be back, hopefully not though :emotion-5:

That's the correct driver :emotion-21:. 

Yes sir! Thanks again for putting me on the right track it`s extremely appreciated!!!

Also you need the video drivers but there are variants specify the hardware IDs under Display Adapters.

Thank you so much for the response.  I forgot to mention that it was Vista 32 bit.  Does that change what I need to instal.

You indicated that I need to install two items for Dell System Windows Vista.  One link was for 62 bit and the other 32 bit.   Do I intall both or is it one or the other depending on the Vista I installed.

I will get back to you with the Video Drivers. 

Thank you again,
