    You need to find the make and model number of your laptop,go to their support page and download the drivers onto the computer you used to post this thread,save the driver files onto some kind of removable storage,USB memory stick being the preferred option but you can also burn them to a CD or DVD then insert or connect to your laptop and install.

    If your having trouble finding the driver support page and/or your drivers post the make,model and S/N number in your next post and I'll try and help.

    Hi

    To follow on from Rikky, you will need to download onto another PC and then transfer as he mentioned by CD, DVD, USB Pen or Hard Drive


    But the drivers are here for your model Dell 1501

    Install the Chipset drivers first, then reboot.

    Then install the Nertwork/Ethernet driver and then the Video and then reboot and check Device Manager for any missing ones.
