    Just done a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on my new Dell Studio 17.

    I've put the drivers and utilities disc in but I'm at a bit of a loss as to which ones to install. The guide says to firsdt install "Notebook/Desktop System Software" but I can't find this under drivers or utilities?!

    The second problem is which drivers do i install? There are only two out of the whole list with black ticks next to them......are these the ones I already have or the ones I need to install?

    Urgent responses required!

    Many thanks...

    You COULD, but only ONE can be installed at a time, and I bet that if there are four diff. driers there are diff. GPU's...

    So, check your gpu manu. and just go to that site for the video driver.

    If you are not sure about which ones to install, go into your device manager and check out exactly what piece of hardware is made by who and what model to be 100% sure.

    Hope this helps man.
