My Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop was recently infected by "something" so malicious that I ended up wiping the slate clean. However, I failed to make sure that I have my restore disk handy (I still can't find it). So, I had to purchase a new Windows XP CD, loaded the software, found many of the now missing drivers, and thought that I am so damn perfect; everything is going to work and look just as it did before my infection. However, I am now experiencing three issues:
1. I cannot get the sound to work.
2. When I try to turn the computer off, all the icons disappear, but it will not actually trun off. I am forced to press and hold the “off” button each time.
3. Each time I reboot, I get a message upon startup in the lower right hand corner informing me that there is a problem with the wireless connection driver.
Can someone please help?!
