Will someone please help me with my Dell Latitude laptop?
-
I have a dell latitude d600. I recently updated my drivers from dell.com I called the computer store that I bought my laptop from to make sure everything inside was dell and they said everything was. I entered my info at dell.com and it gave me a list of updated drivers to download. I downloaded them and now I have a few problems that I do not know anything about. I do not want to go to the store I bought it from because not only did they rip me off, but they also suck really really bad. So will someone please help me? Here is the list of what I downloaded: Applications(1 downloaded) Dell-Application - applies to Quickset Audio(1 downloaded) Sigmatel-Driver - applies to STAC 9750-AC97 Chipset(2 downloaded) Intel-Driver - applies to mobile chipset Micro-Driver - applies to 02711EC1 PCMCIA/SmartCard Communication(4 downloaded) Conexant-Application - applies to D480 MDC V.92 Modem Conexant-Diagnostics Utility - applies to D480 MDC V.92 Modem Conexant-Driver - applies to D480 MDC V.92 Modem Conexant-HTML - applies to D480 MDC V.92 Modem Input Device Drivers(1 downloaded) Alps- Driver - applies to glidepoint/stickpointer Network(4 downloaded) Broadcom-Application - applies to 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller Broadcom-Diagnostics Utility - applies to 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller Broadcome-Driver - applies to 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller Broadcom-HTML - applies to 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller Patches and Fixes(1 downloaded) Dell-Patch/Upgrade - applies to Patches and Fixes (Cross LOB) System Utilities(1 downloaded) Dell-Utility - applies to Notebook System Software Video(1 downloaded) ATI-Driver - applies to Mobility Radeon 9000 Now here is the list of problems that I have found(so far): Under device manager the following say that no drivers have been installed: Direct Memory Access Numeric Data Processor At first I had a problem with the Generic CardBus Controller, but I rolled back the driver and now the error message has disappeared. Does this mean I can delete the file(s) for the updated driver from dell since I rolled it back? How do I know which one it is? The only other problem I have is the fact that my computer kind of runs like a damn turtle. I use AVG free edition, Spyware Doctor and Comodo Firewall. My Windows XP firewall is also still on. Spyware Dr finds many things that AVG does not, but I do not use the anti-virus portion of Spyware Dr. I snagged a free version of Spyware Dr, but it did not include the anti-virus portion so I use AVG for that. I really do not think I have much on my computer. It isn't a super computer or anything. Just your basic browse the web and download movies/music kinda thing. I know movies can take up a lot of space, but could they really slow my computer down so much? I scan with Spyware Dr and AVG everyday. I scan with Spyware Dr pretty much every time I use the web. It always comes up with cookie infections which all say low level threat. I press fix and it says my computer is now clean. Does that mean that I am completely infection free? Or does anything still linger around? I have a lot of free space so I'm not sure why my computer is so slow. Someone please help me.

Answer:
See over there on the left side of the Yahoo Answer page? Brad from Dell.com? Ask him. I'm curious as to what he says. Me? I would download CCleaner for free, and clean my registry out! 1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCleaner 2.http://www.ccleaner.com/
