    Hi, I'm running a Inspiron e1505 and my graphics card/driver is dimming and not reaching it's maximum brightness anymore. It started when I was running the Vista Experiance program, after that it would remain dim, although the only thing that retained it's brightness is my mouse pointers.

    Anyway I'm thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling the driver to hopefully fix it, but if anyone knows how to fix this dimming problem, please post. Thanks in advance.

    Fn + Up
