    Hi there

    i hope you guys can help me. i just had a replacement HD sent to me and so i reinstalled everything from the windows 7 to the drivers and utilities. the issue i am having now is that the laptop only detects an intel vga video card and not the ATI 512mb dedicated card i have. when i look into the device manager i don't see the ATI card there, as well as when i run the DELL drivers source cd it doest detect the video card.. would this be a video card defect then? or is there anything i can do..

    thanks.

    Does your laptop have ATi switchable graphics? Go to support.dell.com input your service tag and download appropriate drivers.
