  • The drivers are probably for Windows XP & not Vista that'll be why they wont install. You'll have to go to the website of the makers of your devices & download Vista drivers instead.

    Are the USB ports enabled? Sorry don't know Vista but look in Hardware, Device manager.

    uninstall them and reboot. it may find them automatically or ask you to insert the dell disk to install the missing drivers.
