Question about Dell INSPIRON 6000 CENTRINO 1.7GHZ,512mb,40GB,DVDRW,XP (086216118098) PC Notebook
I was recently attacked by multiple malicious virus' on my dell laptop. I tried nearly every spyware program out there but none of them would remove it without making me pay around 30$. My dad told be about an ability of dell computers to be able to reset to the factory settings one time. So I looked it up and found how to do it. Ctrl + F11 at the BIOS screen. So i did it and it worked....well i thought it did. It would start and then right after it said it failed....so i tried again a couple times....nothing. I found out my roommate has the windows xp reinstal disc. So I used that to reformat my hardrive and instal windows.... when windows opened up nothing worked....then i realized that the cd was meant to be used to restore as desktop pc.... so none of my laptop functions work....hibernation, standby, wireless, sound, and my screen resolution is all wrong.... the max i can set it to is 1024x768 when before (and what is should be for my widescreen laptop) it was 1280x800....
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a reinstallation cd i can download somewhere?
Hi
Installing windows is a part of the steps to get the laptop working
Here is the link to download all the drivers for your laptop.

HI
You have to add the bluetooth mouse to the system. It can be done by right licking on the bluetooth icon found on the task bar on area where you see the time and click on add bluetooth device. Pair the bluetooth m ouse and it should work fine.
Post your results.
Thank you

Reformatting drives cleans up your disc. Or shall we say when done reformatting, you started from scratch. That is if you install a fresh copy of Windows. Now, doing that, you should reinstall all the drivers needed for your laptop to have the functions working again. Your screen resolution matter, it can be 1280x800 again if you install the graphics driver of your laptop. To avoid this kind of problem again, you should install updated full version of antivirus.

Thanks for the help. I went on dells website and found the info for my computer and i think i downloaded the right drivers for most of the stuff. I was able to get my screen res fixed, internet working, and a couple other things. But the one thing that really is just not working for is my bluetooth mouse. My computer can find the mouse and my phone and can add them. But when I try to use the mouse it says it doesn't have a driver for it. So i went to look at the manufacturers website and it says that it doesn't need a driver...so what do i do? I also can't get some laptop functions to work....Like hibernate or standby. Thanks for any help
What do i do about my mouse? It still will not work...and i have installed all the bluetooth drives and mouse drives on dell... and nothing... it is a targus bluetooth media mouse for laptops.... says it needs no driver...
I need my mouse...
