To get the drivers that apply to you're system only you will need to go here and input you're Dell Service Tag (a 7 digit code found at the base of you're system). Do not post on the forum as it is a violation of the forum's rules.
You should install the following. In the following order
Internet Explorer 9 IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe
1. Dell Notebook Software - Under System Utilities
2. Chipset - Any Chipset that applies to you're service tag (probably all 6)
3. Video - Again any that apply to you're service tag
4. Communications - Under System Utilities (All 4, driver first)
5. Realtek Ethernet Controller - Under Network
6. Any Wireless Card - Under Network
7. Any Bluetooth Card - Under Network
8. Alps Touchpad - Under Mouse & Keyboard
9. Intel Rapid Storage Technology - Under SATA Drives
10. IDT Audio Driver - Under Audio
11. Dell Quickset - Under Applications
Can leave all the rest. The guide I wrote below explains everything in more depth, from start to finish.

For future reference for anybody that comes across this page in a search all you need to download to get rid of the sm bus is this. Works perfect.

It seems you haven't installed the system drivers.
Please see the guide below. A clean Install of Windows 7 (Pay particular attention to Step 4.)
For the SM Bus, you need the Dell Notebook Software, Chipset, Video, Communications and Audio. For the keys you are missing Dell Quickset.
