    I don't think i have the proper driver. I had upgraded from windows 7, I was just curious if anyone else had some light to shed on this, I'm not sure if they have a compatible full driver set yet, but I can't display my second screen at full resolution. (and the control panel is inoperable)

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    Dell/Alienware doesn't even officially support the latest driver versions, let alone beta drivers for an operating system still in testing. Short answer - No, you will not be finding any stable working drivers at least until after the retail release.

    thanks for the input Rishwin, just to give the Official opinion; We have not validated any drivers for Windows 8 yet. It would be better to get back to Windows 7 until the official release.
