Which drivers to use for Dell Inspiron Desktop 580S
We got a Dell Inspiron 580S with Windows 7 Home; we bought a license to bring it up to Windows 7 Pro. It is a 64 bit system which is the first in the office and can not make an ODBC connection to our Windows 2003 server. So in order not to hold up my user, I did a reinstall to Windows 7 but with 32 bit. i went on the Dell website to get drivers but it only has drivers for Vista 32 bit or Windows 7 64 bit. Now what do I do? Dell wouldn't help because it wasn't the software originally installed on the system.

I'll try the 32 bit Vista and if that does not work I will do the print screens for each device I need to load.

Seems to be working fine. Many thanks for your help!!
Right click the device that needs drivers and select "Properties"
Then click the "Details" tab.
Click the Drop-Down box and select "Hardware Ids".
Then hold down Alt+PrtScn to create a screen shot of the open window and paste it to an MSPaint document and save as a .Jpg. Then please upload said picture here for analysis.
