Click on the link at the bottom and select .....
Drivers & Downloads I'm looking for drivers and downloads. Enter your Service tag and download the video card from Dell.
It will be the correct version, save it to your desktop. Close any
open windows, double click the video driver and follow the
prompts. ~Cindy~

Oh, n evermind I see it. I don't see how I missed it!
But, it says "There are no files to download. Please go to Drivers and Downloads to select file(s)."
I'm confused now; Didn't I just download a file/driver?

Arkvoodle,
You'll need to determine what video adapter is in your computer before anyone can point you to the specific driver for it. The Inspiron E1505 can have either Intel integrated video or a card made by ATI or nVidia. To find out which one you have you need to go to Device Manager and expand the Display adapters branch.1056

Umm, that whole section has been deleted, but in the other devices section it shows:
Video Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
If it helps any, I have something called NVIDIA PhysX on my control Panel...
Please respond ASAP.

I use an app called DriverMax to identify what device drivers are needed when I do reinstalls on systems that have no documentation. You have a whole new set of drivers to install under Vista because the drivers you used for all your hardware in Windows XP aren't compatible with Vista. The Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset driver your friend's program found is for the motherboard. If that one were for video it would've been identified as Intel 945GM Graphics Controller. What you need to do with the recovered file is reinstall it but do so after you download and install the Dell Notebook System Software from here.
