    Anyone else having problems with DCP 1.3000 A12 (or something like that) on Vista x64?

    Specs are in my sig.

    Basically, after installing the newest DCP today, I lost control of screen brightness and the Auto-Light Sensor, meaning I can't change the brightness levels, NOR does the ALS affect brightness levels. I still have control of the keyboard backlight though.

    After trying the 2 older DCP versions on Dell's site, the results were the same. The ALS version never changed.

    Wait a minute, I just realized; I am using the latest Intel Driver for the x4500. Could that be a problem? Should I use the Dell Supplied video driver?

    Yep, reverting back to Dell's driver fixed the issue. DCP 1.3 running smoothly now.
