Dell 1545 Laptop Driver

Does anybody have an idea what driver I am missing, fresh install of XP. Thanks Michael

 

Did you go to the Dell support site, enter the Service Tag number and go to Drivers and Downloads? The missing driver(s) should be there. I believe the BCM2045 is for Broadcom (either ethernet or wi-fi).

 

Still no luck with this, I have downloaded both network drivers but no luck. Here is the service tag if somebody could point me in the right direction. 6B17BG1 Thanks Michael

 

According to the original configuration specs, it came with XP Home SP 2. Have you updated XP to SP 3?

One of the drivers you still need is the Audio driver. If that driver also includes the BCM2045 and the modem device driver, you should be set.

I hope you're NOT going online with the XP computer. Microsoft support for XP ended on 4/8/14 and you'd be really vulnerable.

 

Yes I did load SP3 .

 

Did you download and install the "Chipset driver" from Dell? Many times that needs to be installed before all the other drivers.

 

From MIT:

the mechanic, that article is from October 2014 so hackers may have moved on to other areas. Two years is a long time on the internet. I am not saying XP is safe. I do not take our XP computers on the internet.

 

“You are at risk if you still run XP,” says Leonard. “The risk will only increase going forward.”

 

Ok I understand its is vunerable. But I cant open certain web pages can somebody help with that.
Here is a error that I am getting. I am trying to run Dell driver update.

If you are using IE8, it's not supported anymore by many websites.

 

That was under Firefox but trying to get to any Microsoft downloads say I have to use IE which won't connect either. I can go to some sites fine but others give me no internet connection.

 

Dell System Detect doesn't update device drivers anyway. For that, you need to Go to the Dell Support site, enter your Service Tag number and go to Drivers and Downloads.

 

Well, the crux is that Microsoft sites also no longer support IE8. Or XP...

 

So is there anyway to fix the drivers and problems with web browsing.

 

Use Driver Easy to hopefully find the drivers.
Pay attention during installation - you don't want to install the Pro version.
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/drivereasy.html

 

I would suggest you try the Driver Updater program 'Driver Talent'
It is fairly straight forward but here is the user guide:
http://www.drivethelife.com/user-guide-to-download-update-drivers.html
We all know that XP is vulnerable to malware and more so than later systems, but frankly any system hat isn't secured with good up to date security software is vulnerable. Make sure you have a decent AV installed and kept up to date, and because of he new ransomware types, one of those programs too, eg CryptoPrevent.
In your Firefox you can install the add on extension 'IE Tab V2' from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36/

EDIT: Sorry Eldon - I missed your suggestion before I posted.

 

Yeah, I had read that MS wasn't going to support anything earlier than IE 11 and of course they dropped XP support on 4/8/14.

 

This is what I get when trying to down the drivereasy.

 

If it was me, I would simply install DRIVER TALENT from the MajorGeeks download link I gave you in post #17 - it will probably be easier and quicker.

 

Well it took care of all but bluetooth BCM 2045, when trying to install it says software license file not found. But still getting the security problem when trying to go to certain web pages, Any ideas on that?

 

Try different web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) and see if the same happens.

 

figured it out, date was wrong 2008

 

great

 

Thanks MaxTurner.

You should download from the links we post - more often than not we will post MajorGeeks downloads.
