    Might want to try the drivers he mentioned - if it doesnt work you can always reinstall the Dell drivers.

    Not sure which 1510 driver you have installed currently, but if Glzmo's doesnt work, try the 5.30.21.0.
    ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R237484.exe

    If all of those fail, I have no idea since I'm running Vista. ;)

    Glzmo will probably chime in once he see's your thread and may be able to offer additional pointers.
