Some system manufacturers including DELL* will customize the chipset's to meet their requirements or to make them compatible with other devices that they added to the computer. Unfortunately this makes our drivers not to work on them.

If you receive an error that you have a customized driver, you need to contact your system manufacturer and request the latest driver from them. In this case, your system manufacturer is DELL*.
