Hmm...your .exe files might be installers, or they might be self-executing zip files. In the former case, I assume you've clicked on the one for your wireless adapter? The actual driver itself is an .inf file, which is included in either case.

http://support.dell.com/support/down...nConsent=False Install the Dell utilities and run patch & updates (whatever Dell calls it). Actually theres a "scan for hardware problems" link on the support page. Try that as well.

If you can somehow get the .infs out of the .exe you would probably be okay doing a manual install with them.

If it's an installer, maybe open it up, and before it tells you you cannot install them, before clicking "Ok" to end the installation, find out where the installer extracted the temporary install files (probably somewhere on the C:\\ drive in its own directory, or perhaps on your desktop), and grab the infs out of that before exiting the installer thus deleting those temp files.

According to your Original System Configuration page your wireless adapter is: "Card (circuit), Wireless, Half Mini-card, DW1397, 4312BG" . Which means you need to download and install this driver for your wireless adapter to work. Driver
