    FYI Dell released a new video driver for the studio laptops today.
    It said it increases compatibility with external monitors. I wouldn't know since I've never hookem mine up to an external. But I will dl just to stay up to date. You can find it here:
    oops, it said I don't have enough posts to post a link. Sorry, find it yourself :confused:

    If our current drivers work perfectly fine, should we bother downloading the new ones? Don't want to risk messing anything up when everything is working fine as is.

    the updated drivers are Catalyst 8.8. Most recent ones from ATI are 8.10.

    I installed them just fine. Uninstall the old one, restart, install new one, restart.
    (Although I already had Catalyst 8.8 before I installed this "updated" dell one)

    1. No need to resurrect an old thread when your post is NOT related to the thread at all!

    2. Install Dell Quickset... Also, are you sure you have a backlit keyboard? It has a symbol on the right arrow key. As mine works outside of Windows even, but regardless Install Dell Quickset.
