    I've just got my xps 1530 and it comes with the driver: 7.15.11.7431 wich dates from 22-02-2008.

    Should i get a new driver from laptop2go thats better?

    Thanks for your help.

    Interesting. This driver has been available for the M1330 for some time. If Dell is shipping M1530s with this driver, why hasn't Dell updated the driver list on its website for the M1530? I installed this driver on my M1530 and it's working fine.

    In answer to your question, some folks have installed later drivers from laptopvideo2go and have been happy with them. Do a search here and experiment with them. I'm satisfied with the 174.31 drivers for now.

    174.31 is good but I got one problem. When I try to create custom resolution, I will get an error and Nvidia Control Panel crash. After I fresh installed Vista and fresh installed the 174.31 driver, I still have this problem.
