    The latest version of the Intel Intel Display Adapter Driver available on the Dell website is 6.14.10.4980 dated 08/25/2008. The Intel website shows Version 6.14.10.5029 dated 01/21/2009 is available.

    Has anyone updated their E6400 to this new driver? Does anyone know of any specific benefits or problems with this new driver?

    I tried to install it and noticed it was "unsigned" but I installed it anyways and then it crashed during the install. I had to reboot and do a system restore.

    I tried twice so that's enough crashing and restoring for me.

    The latest Dell version of this driver seems to be version 7.15.10.1637 dated 02/26/2009.

    It's available for Vista x86 (32 bit) here - (I'm assuming this is your OS)

    - Following are the fixes/ enhancements in the driver:

    - Blu-ray playback support

    - Improved display port device detection

    - Corrected non-english language messages
