Unable to install drivers on my Inspiron 1300 Laptop

closed

it's unlikely a few drivers made it go slow

could be windows update or av if you installed it.

backup with macrium reflect free, then you wont have to go through this again

No mention of the wirless driver in post 8.

Arrogance and stupidity - rarely a good combination.

Nice response to somone trying to help.

If you had brains - you'd be dangerous (and probably be able to re-install a Dell 1300 yourself - like i did).

By no means I was laughing at you. Please do not feel offended. The comment by ND made me laugh. I do appreciate all the helpful advice i get from people here and am thankful to all of you.
Thank you for trying to help me. Obviously I am not as bright as most of you, otherwise I would not be asking for help from you lot.

Arrogance prompted you to respond in that way and stupidity describes the action of not realising that another poster removed a post made in error; therefore changing the post# from #8 to #7. Still two days before you posted.
If you wish to nit-pick; if you can't spell, invest in a decent spell checker.

Arrogance and stupidity...rarely a good combination.

Not only late to the party, but an ill mannered gatecrasher to boot.

Thank you. You are right. It was the windows update. I have also downloaded avast as recommended by you in the other thread as AV. I will try and keep the downloads to the minmum and use this laptop as a secondary computer.
I am updating the IE to IE 8 at the moment.
Would downloading and using Google Chrome or Firefox or any other browser like Opera be a good idea?

Thank you

if you prefer them you can, my opinion is the less bloat on there, the better it will run. IE does the job, firefox churns out a new version every week, chrome adds toolbars/updaters/bloat. The portable versions are easier to remove.

I will stick to the internet explorer then.
