    sharks codecs work very well but i don't think it will help with youtube. you could try either firefox or chrome to see if that helps.

    No nothing happened. The strange is that since i had my older XP instalation i booted in XP and everything works fine. Returning to Win 7 (after even a clean install) no results.... The Graphics is Quadro go700 no 770 as i said before...... I am really dissapointed

    How proficient was the clean install? Did you install the primary device drivers first in a recommended order up through video and audio? Are you running Flash in IE?

    By "the primary device drivers first" do you mean the chipset drivers? After the win 7 instalation i let the windows update the drivers through auto update. Everything was ok (driver wise) except from the GPU that was installed later. I have tried running flash through ie but also through chrome.

    So, you installed Win7, Windows Updates, and then a video driver. If you can't work it out, you might want to start over... install Win7, the required Dell.com downloads in order... chipset, dell system, storage controller, audio, video, networking, etc... and then Windows Updates, skipping any device drivers that are older than what you already have installed.

    Edit: Never mind... I now see that no Dell.com Win7 drivers exist for the M60.

    there is no official dell win 7 drivers for the M60.
    the only driver that needs updating is the gpu.

    One thing I would try is to move your win7 drive into the primary hard drive slot and see if that helps. If it doesn't I think it's your gpu that is the limiting factor.

    This discussion suggests an nVidia Vista/Win7 x86 driver for the Quadro FX Go 700.
