    I upgraded my studio xps to Win 7 build 7048. Everything went great. Except ( Seems there's always an except) I no longer have access to the right click or anyway for that matter to interface with my ait radeon 3470. It is installed and working but I obviously would prefer to have the toggle between screen displys and multiple monitors option. Might be the RC1 7057 irons this out but so far the 64 bit version is not out. Anyone have a thought? I updated the Ati's drivers.

    Great. Sorry I missed this reply. Ironically I have moved back to Vista 64 premium which just yesterday had a blue screen that freaked me out due to the ATI not being able to connect (so said Vista alert) then it rebooted itself. I posted about it just a few hours ago. Do you know if there is a known issue with these cards and the xps studios 16? I saw one guy had returned his first one but did not go in to details if it was doa or failed overtime. I paid way to much to be having an issue like this only a month after purchase. I ran every pre and post test etc. Everything dell had to throw at it driver wise. So far, albeit less than 24 hrs later, the issue has not returned. Anyhow great news about the Ati drivers.
    Regards,
