i think your audio drivers has not installed so first installe the audio drivers through dell audio drivers website.

dell laptops running in windows xp and vista can install any free software as long the software is windows based like xp and vista.

Illustrated, step-by-step procedure. Any questions, let me know.

get the windows xp disc, press F2 to get into the bios and set the cd rom drive as the first bootable device.

Boot from the windows xp disc - wipe and re install xp as the operating system and then once installed update to at least SP2 and get the drivers for the network card if not already installed and it should be fine as long as you can get the relevant drivers.
