Now I get the BSOD with that message. I went into Safe Mode and took a look at Device Manager and there are a few components in need of drivers. Im assuming that's causing the problem. Thing is, I dont have any driver installation CDs. All I have is the laptop. I checked out Dell's website for driver downloads, but I dont even know which drivers I should get.
The laptop is an Inspiron 600m.
The hardware I need drivers for are:
Network Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
PC Modem
USB Controller
I was able to install the drivers for the multimedia audio controller, modem, and USB controller, but not for the network controller. There are two other devices in need of drivers that I failed to mention. The Ethernet Controller and the Video Controller. Ill try looking for those in the link you provided.
I tried installing other network drivers, but there's a runtime error that comes up.
1. 1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime. The network driver you linked.
2. There was another network driver available in the link you posted.
Link
When I tried installing that driver I get this message: The Windows Installer could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed.
3. The Ethernet Controller I just assumed was the network driver that you linked. I havent tried installing the video driver yet.
