    Well, my sound wasn't working, and it kept locking the machine up.

    I reformatted my system with a fresh copy of Win7 Ultimate

    Downloaded all the drivers, yada yada, but I'm getting a couple issues.

    The IR Drivers REFUSE to load

    Installing Sound Drivers from Dell will LOCK the machine anytime any video/audio is played. With stock Win7 Drivers, sounds works fine. Unfortunately, with the Win7 Drivers, I can't play BioShock

    Any ideas?
