I have a DELL Dimension 4600 Desktop without any setup disk for
installing drivers, In particular I need the internet connection,
video, and audio driver(s). The connectors are on-board (part of
mobo),

I have tried to google for a download for these drivers, but, alas, I
can't find anything that will install.

Anyone?

Thanx,
Duke

I find this very useful:

Saves time as long as you are selective about the drivers you choose to
update.
Most importantly It's not like the other driver scanners, it's totally free.

I may have the cd , but it would be huge to email it to you. I do have a cable
connection so could possibly send it to you somehow.
 
Although Dell has many faults, driver support is not one of them. Find
the service tag on your machine -- it's a 7 digit alphanumeric string --
and plug it into this web page:


http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

That will take you to related specifications, manuals and drivers.

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.

Go to Dell's web site. All the drivers are there.

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?

I figured it out

Thanks

For us simpler souls, care to explain.

I suspect he saved the files to a download list, which is
buggy and hard to deal with unless you're using IE. The easy
way is to just download each driver directly, which works
with any browser.

Well - first I erased all the cookies and 'clear recent history' under
Firefox tools. and then when I first downloaded a file I got a
pop up page displaying 2 options. Download via Driver Download Manager
or Download via Internet Browser. I chose the second option to
download the files as normal.

The dell download manager is a major problem to use on
Firefox requiring .net and several other MS pieces. best to
just use IE or download them singly via the browser.

I have several friends with Dell machines so I will squirrel that
information away. Thanks gents.
 
I had the same problem while doing a clean reinstallation of Windows XP to a
Dell destop. To reset this to single file downloads through your browser, go
to Internet Option in either Contol Panel or Microsoft Internet Explorer,
and click on Delete Cookies, thus your computer will forget all about using
Dell Download Manager. This is explained somewhere in the
http://support.dell.com website
