You probably have to try to browse to tell windows where the driver is found. Windows is notoriously annoying at this. Try browsing, or telling it you know where the file is, and then comb through the folders and try to find one the looks right. Once you find the right file or folder, the OK button will "ungray" and you can click it to advance. It won't let you tell it an incorrect driver so feel free to try some that sound right, the wrong one won't install.

Video card upgrade Dell Inspiron 530

If anything, it's simply not compatible with your specs. "Vista 32 bit" alone kind of instilled some doubt in me. But who knows, try surfing around Nvidia's site here

You can try their Option 2 to automatically scan your rig and find a "suitable" driver for it, or try the links below on that site "Beta and Older Drivers" and see if any of the other versions work.

Faulty system restore

If you are refering to the DELL system restore on the hard drive you will have to contact DELL and have them ship you the recovery discs for your system. Once you have the recovery discs, insert them in your drive and boot the computer from the CD/DVD to attempt the recovery.
