Worth hitting F11 early in the boot sequence. If Dell's restore partition (it will have had one) is still there (it might be) you will be prompted to do a "factory reset" which will install all the correct drivers. If only you'd read the manual before reinstalling Windows . . . but hindsight is a wonderful thing :-)
