    i have dell optiplex gx620 w/ service tag # 1z5t891

    i reformatted xp and came up with missing drivers. The Device Mgr show yellow ? marks in "other devices" for Ethernet Contoller, Multimedia Audio Controller, SM Bus Contoller, Video Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatible). I cannot connect to the internet.

    I went to dell suppot to find the drivers. I think I found them, but cannot figure out how to download them to a usb memory stick.

    When I hit the download button, it asks me if I want to install, and I am scared to press install. I want to save it it to the stick. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    Thanks

    Should get an option to "Save", then browse to the location of your USB device.

    From this page you should be able to download and save the desired drivers to where ever you want.
