Dell Inspiron 1440 Driver Problem

Hello,

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 1440 Laptop yesterday. Its 2.2 Ghz with with an integrated webcam and bluetooth.

It came with DOS so I installed Windows 7 Ultimate version on.

Overall its working fine but I can't seem to find the webcam and bluetooth. That is where to switch them on from . The scroll and zoom function of the mouse pad is also not working. The driver manager on the dell support doesn't work either. When I launch it after downloading it gives the error that application cannot be started.

Can anyone guide me how I can fix these problems.

Regards,

Omar
