The first one.

 

[dew1]

why the first one?

 

[Corazon]

No, not the first one.

Your Dell Inspiron 1545 appears to have Intel GMA 4500 video, so the driver you need should be the fourth one, bottom of the list ("Intel Driver, GM45 Video").

 

[dew1]

how did you know this model has Intel GMA 4500 video ?

Actually there is only two to choose from. Intel or ATI. The other two showing there are for a TV tuner, they are not video card drivers.

Easiest way to find out which is in it is to go here,

Dell - Drivers and Downloads

and use your service tag number and check the original configuration.

 

[dew1]

why they added two? and why they don't said which one I have to install ?

Hi dew1 , have you followed stormy13s advice in post# 6 ?

Corazon was correct. Just enter your Dell service tag and you'll be offered the correct drivers.

Drivers & Downloads

You need the Intel G45 driver, which is the fourth one down.

You haven't said whether you are using Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit. Make sure you choose your version first from the operating system drop-down list.

Thank you, I read your posts and I didn't ignore you, But my question Is there the seam laptop has ATI and some of them have intel? why Dell put in its sites ATI and intel for this model?

I would imagine because the original specification called for either Intel's integrated or ATI graphics.

You just need to choose the Intel in your case.

I'm sorry didn't understand what did you say can you explain more?

 

[seavixen32]

Just go the link I gave you, namely this one Drivers & Downloads and select then download the Intel G45 driver and install it.

thank you very much and Installed it successfully, but I want to know how did you know I want to be expert

I don't mean to sound rude, but those are situations where no one should really know better than you, the owner of the laptop. If you bought the laptop, you'd have to know what specs it included, in order to know if you were getting a good price or not. A lot of that depends on the video...being onboard (Intel) or discrete (ATI). If for some odd reason you didn't know off the top of your head, you should have kept the original box or documentation, which should list it.

This will be a good learning experience then. If you want to be an expert, the first step is to know what you are dealing with in front of you.

actually, The laptop not for me it's for friend.

and thank you
