Tareq,
You can click the link below to download the correct drivers for your system. You must first install the chipset drivers before installing any other drivers so that the hardware will work properly. This system only shipped with one Audio Option.

Mouse hanging whenever i start my laptop dell vostro 1014

It is time to replace the hard drive for the spot where the mouse drivers are is bad so that means it will not be long before the hard drive stops working so time to back everything up while you can and get a new hard drive

ERROR CODE 0F00:065D

If your hard drive shows as empty, you should be able to reinstall your operating system from the system disk.
If the disk has failed, though, it will not accept the operating system. You'll have to buy a new hard drive.
In a Dell computer, if you press the special function key to select a boot option (I think it's F12), one option should be diagnostics. Here you can test the hard drive. If it comes up with an error, you'll know for sure what the problem is.
