    I've been having significant trouble with the 156.55 drivers (artifacts, crashes, video driver quitting responding), and would like to roll back to the version Dell had up before October 29th. Unfortunately, I've deleted that version from my computer and the rollback isn't working. ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/video/ has all the video driver files, but there are thousands of them. If someone who has the old drivers downloaded could tell me the name of the file to download from Dell's ftp, I'll gladly give a +rep. All I know for sure is it is in the form R1-----.exe, where the dashes are numbers, and that the driver version is 101.xx.

    laptopdrivers2go is another option, but I had artifact drivers with the 169.02 version from there as well, and didn't have any problems with the Dell drivers from June, so I'd rather just go back to those and have them work.

    I think I have the file you are looking for but renamed it when I downloaded it. Its file ver. 1.3.2.6557 if that helps.

    I had the same problem with dells new driver but I ended up using 169.09 from laptopdrivers2go with no problems and with better performance.
