Looks Like Chipset Drivers Needed.

Systems Management BUS...

Assuming you're using Windows XP, I'll bet the Dell link below should get you the "ATI SMBus/Chipset" driver you need:

Chip Set: ATI SMBus / Chipset Driver

And here's more of their drivers for your computer model, just in case:

Hope this helps.

Inspiron 1501 Base System Device

I just finished fixing this same error when I reloaded an Inspiron 1501. If you have this specific model, the driver needed is the Ricoh Memory Card Drivers which can be downloaded from support.dell.com

This allows your laptop to read MMC cards on the side of your laptop.
