Optiplex 3046, Windows 7, USB drivers

Hello,

I'm having an issue installing windows 7 on a Dell Optiplex 3046. Everything goes well except when i'm trying to install the USB drivers on my computer. I tried using the windows 7 full package, i tried to download the USB package appart from the others, i tried to get them from Intel and even tried to use windows update to get the drivers from them. Everytime i get the same result: mouse and keyboard both don't work. Is there an easy fix i haven't tried yet? Thanks for yours answers :)

Ronan.

i found the solution to my problem.

Turned out that the supplied Dell drivers weren't supported by an older version of windows 7.

So i launched all the missing windows updates and reinstalled the drivers.

worked perfectly well !

I would start by forcing the reinstallation of all four of the Dell Chipset drivers, one at a time, rebooting after each one is finished installing.
