Hi Romeo011179, According to the computer model you provided, I searched from Dell website and find that your computer uses Dell Wireless 1450 (802.11a/b/g) USB2.0 Adapter and Intel (R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection. I realize that both Dell and Intel do not provide the Dimension 4700 network card drivers for Windows 7. For more information, you may refer to the following links: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=DIM_P4_4700&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid= http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Network+Connectivity&ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+Desktop+Adapters&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+PRO%2f100+VE+Network+Connection Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. Since they also do not work under Windows XP Compatibility Mode, you’d better purchase and install a new Windows 7 compatible network card. Good luck! Arthur Li - MSFT

Did you find drivers for the network? Also what drivers did you find for the sound please? Thank you very much, Kristen
