All of your computer’s drivers for Dell-installed devices are operative when you 
receive the computer. No further installation or configuration is needed. However, if 
you ever need to reinstall any of these drivers, the driver files are provided on the 
System Software CD.

Often device problems can be corrected by reinstalling the appropriate drivers. Also, 
hardware manufacturers frequently provide updated drivers that support feature 
enhancements or that correct problems. Obtain updated drivers for products pur-
chased from Dell from the support section of the Dell World Wide Web site
