    well after looking for answers on the web I found out you have to download the dreamscene "content" pack from windows update. My only problem is - that update isnt there. I further read that if you have SP1 installed you have to uninstall it to get it to work, is this true? I have updated all of my drivers so that isnt the issue.

    Well after I chatted with MS today they determined that I need a "WDDM driver" for my 8600GT video card. The only problem is that on Dell's site it doesnt list one for my service tag, it just lists a 8600m driver, what the heck. Can someone help me out here?
