    Ive had problem with this since i bought this laptop 2 months ago i simply cant install the new drivers the only one that works is the dell driver that was released 6 months ago 8.692. I tried to instal the beta driver but it didnt work after it was installed it said ATI is not working bla bla. Then i restarted the computer and it went back to 8.692 again which i thought was weird then i tried to install 10.8 and that did nothing as usual... getting really annoying the driver 8.692 version works but annoying that i cant have the latest and best.

    If it works, then do you really need new drivers? I'm running the beta drivers that dell removed from thier site after a very short period. Havn't had many issues, but I don't use sleep or anything like that.

    To install AT Drivers follow this after extracting them:

    1) Open Notepad as admin
    2) Go to ATI - Support - 10-8_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc - Config -InstallManager.cfg and change the last false to true
