Driver issues with Inspiron 1721

[mau64]

Did a reinstall of a Dell Inspiron 1721 and am having issues with the drivers. The old harddrive failed so I lost the factory backup that would have been great to have.

I did the reinstall off a USB since the DVD Rom is out and I noticed that it tried to install network drivers. I uninstalled since they failed and grabbed them off Dell's website but they keep failing. Under device manager the WLAN.

Both the Ethernet and wireless are failing. They are both Broadcom, the wireless is a 440x 10/100 integrated controller. The error I'm getting is (Code 12 that it cannot find enough free resources)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry typed that on my phone and it was supposed to say I was having trouble with the wireless not WLAN.

Did you google this and apply what you got from those searches ?

Yeah I looked up the error code and it said that it could be conflicting with something, but I'm not sure what that thing could be.

You need to learn more about the features and options of device manager if you want to know about conflicts.

Okay I'll do some more research on that. I just wanted to make sure I didn't overlook something stupid.
