Thanks, Steve. I think you see how lame I am with windows. I think I just realized that the boot order that the bios won’t let me change really has nothing to do with drivers. I will try the usb option. I don’t think it will work though because when I try to download the drivers from the disc, the drive spins up but the computer says it can’t find the drivers.
I went to the Dell link you gave and you have to ask for the drivers you want. I don’t know what to ask for. I know the internet function doesn’t work, I know the sound doesn’t work but I don’t know what other things were installed with the computer. I guess it’s just a lost cause and they will head for the landfill.
Sorry for the ignorant questions.
