New Windows problem

[daBizMan]

Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron n5110. The old windows was messed up so I decided to change it, changed the windows. Now I have a problem, big one. The wifi is not working, I downloaded the adapters but still, even the wired connection doesn't work. The resolution is Awfull, tried chnging it but I'm using the highest and it's so bad. I cannot adjust the brightness. I tried reinstalling windows from different downloads and disk, still the same problem. I want to know the thing that causes this and how to fix it.

WHen you do a clean install of windows you have to put on a cd or USB stick the drivers needed for your system. Start with intel chipset drivers install them first then reboot. Then install the USB wifi drivers. If they load fine run the windows update to load all of windows update files you need. Under optional updates download drivers windows finds for your pc.
From dell web page you can also download the drivers.

I already mentioned that after installing the drivers, it didnt work

Be sure to install all the Windows updates. It will install most drivers too.

Control panel > System and Security > Windows updates

Make sure to check for new updates after each restart, until you have installed all updates.

Some Dell Lap-tops only have functional network drivers for x64 bit version of Windows.

So install 64 bit version of windows and all should work.
