System Detect Error Message
I am attempting to download drivers to a Vostro 3360 notebook that is out of warranty. Any info would be appreciated...
I select System Detect and get an error message that says in part, "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted"
Clicking the "Details" button in the error message reveals the following:

Uninstall the Dell System Detect software. When done, restart the computer. Then go here and follow the instructions, "How do I download and install drivers using Detect Drivers?", "Click Detect Product". Post the results.
