Hey i may or may not sound stupid on this one, but i just installed a new harddrive after getting the blue screen of death UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error message i upgraded from a 160gb hard drive to a 320gb hard drive. Everything went smooth changing out the hard drive and installing windows etc. But when i finaly got onto the internet everything was extremely laggy in otherwords just slower. when i scrolled down in IE and firefox everything just scrolled so slow and jittered kind of. Also i came to realise my speakers dont work so i did some research and all i needed to do was download my drivers.. my only problem is when i type in my service tag etc and specify my computer type i try to download the drivers for instance one of the drivers i need is for my speakers/audio called realtek the program file is 37mb i beleive and when i click download its only 9.28kb and i click save, save as desktop, save and i try and open it up but it says this application is not a valid win32 application... it happens on every driver i try to download. can someone please help me because i want to get this thing up and running just like it used to.



please and thank you
 
Sounds like the typical lack of drivers for the laggy bit. If the drivers can't be obtained from Dell, you could always try from the providers. Intel/ATI/Nvidia for your GPU. If you're unsure, software such as PC Wizard should tell you.

As for the realtek drivers, I know Dell has some kind of stupid download assistant thing I've accidentally gotten a few times. Confirm your cache and cookies are cleaned out and try again, or use another browser. If you continue to have problems, you could always get the drivers from Realtek's site...

(I'd assume it's the HD audio drivers...)
