Hi Everybody,

Recently I formatted and installed Windows 7 32 bit OS of my own.

However I am unable to find Windows 7 32 bit edition compatible Drivers for Ethernet etc for my dell laptop.

Pls let me know how or from where can i download 32 bit windows 7 compatible dell drivers.

Looking forward for guidance.

Pls advise. The below devices are not getting recognized its really urgent.

You should go to Dell.com/support, then find you model(don't go the service code route), and you should be able to select 32-bit from the drop down menu.

Okay so Dell officially never had 32 bit Windows 7 drivers for the 1450, but you can use the Vista ones as Vista and 7 driver model are near identical.

Windows 7 doesn't automatically find your drivers?

Also moving to Inspiron/Studio subforum
