    the driver of the link of you posted does not work on the laptop in my opinion as i have downloaded all the ati driver versions from 8.7 to 8.12 and i get the same error like "hardware not found".

    Hmmm... I remember seeing somewhere on the web (and may be here on NBR, too) info. regarding ATI drivers for laptop'. I am searching now but haven't come across till now. Let me check more.

    Edit:

    http://www.omegadrivers.net/omega_drivers.php

    Yeah I saw. Google returns links to some 8.12 or 8.10 drivers, but the sites which are showing them don't look all that trust worthy, so I'm not inclined to link you there. But if you want, google for 'ati radeon laptop driver' or 'ati radeon mobility driver' and you would see what I am seeing too.

    Also, you could give a quick try for DriverMax. It should surely get you the drivers. And its fast too.

    mobility modder definately works....I use my laptop to listen to music through external speakers and the sound quality was so much different in xp that I went back to vista. If anyone has a link for the HD sound driver in xp for the 1535 that would be amazing.

    i have used modded drivers but when u run gpu-z after installing modded drivers the performance becomes half like memory bandwith,texture as well as vertex fill rate and gpu and memory clock becomes half of their default value.

    YOU GOT TO USE ATI MOBILITY MODDER. Because dell only wants to let you install their drivers off of their website. So just use mobility modder and it should work. :)
