Installed PRO: Stretched images, Wifi gone. Card slot not working

[Guest J Lucas]

I had to replace a hard drive in my Dell E1505. Installed PRO. Several

issues:

 

1. My cursor moves to random areas while typing every couple seconds...

usually somewhere earlier in the current sentence Im typing. (It will take

forever to type this cuz it moves so often.)

 

2. Only given 2 options for screen resolution. (800 x 600 and 1024 x 768).

I used to have 3 options. Everything including desktop and all web browsers

are "stretched" and looks horrible. Pictures are distorted and wide. Text

is blurry, etc.

 

3. My card slot where I put my camera card in doesn't work.

 

4. Wifi cannot be turned on

 

5. Device Manager has several yellow exclamation points under "Other

devices" which drivers will not update. (Base system devices, ethernet and

network controllers, PCI device etc.) I downloaded Dell drivers but not sure

how many dozens of drivers or which ones Im supposed to do. Looks like I got

all the ones I supposedly need.

 

Other issues as well, but you get the idea. ANY responses greatly

appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is all due to lacking proprietary drivers from Dell

specific to your machine. Go to the Dell site and get them.
