Hello,
I just formatted my computer and now the only trouble I'm having is getting the wifi to work. The computer is a Dell Inspiron E1505. The Wi-Fi is Enabled but the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator is not. Can you tell me where to start?.

The software for the wifi needs to be downloaded from Dell. use the Dell support tab at www.dell.com. You will then need to search to e1505. You want the "dell Quick set" driver that is in the Applications group. You may also want other drivers as well. You can download on another computer and copy to a Flash Drive or CD.

Good Luck
