Hi,
 
Its most likely that you have downloaded a very old version of software with the same name. The dell support website has many listing when you search for Dell Dock. Always use the website below for the latest version of Dell Dock application. http://www.delldock.com/

Sorry for the typo, it was suppose to be Dell WEB site

You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, the support download page. Make sure you select your model laptop, better still type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop. Also make sure you select the Windows Vista version of the driver for your Windows operating system.
