Thanks

I found the 'Service Tag' and now will try what you suggest. I
caused all this by erasing the boot drive and reinstalling XP.
The old installation was running badly.

I am not doing something right. When I download the drivers I select
on the above site, and enter the service tag, each download is a
simple 10kb file called DellDriverDownloadManager.application with an
embedded sequential number for uniqueness. I want to download the
specific 'R' files from which to install the actual drivers. I don't
know what to do with the so called DownloadManager.applications.

Can you help me on this?
