Windows file corruption

I have a Inspiron 6400/E1505 (2006) which indicated a corrupted Windows file and would not
start the application. I am 2000 miles from home where all backups are, so after 2 days, I
found a 4 year old version of Windows and installed it, unwisely reformatting the hard drive in
the process. So windows works now but all the bells and whistles don't. These include the
builtin WiFI 1394, the low battery function buttons plus more I probably don't know about. I have
an external Wifi antenna and the driver CD for it, so WiFI is going using this but not by the
internal card.
  I have been trying to download some of the drivers from the Dell website, but so far have not
had any success. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Go to support.dell.com, enter your service tag, and choose Original Configuration. Make a list of the drivers you need - start with the chipset and notebook system software, audio, video, touchpad, modem, etc. Then go to Downloads and download the drivers.
