    Hi,I am new this site and I need some help
    I bought a Dell XPS 16...2.53Ghz with a 512mb ATI HD 3670...
    I created a partition and installed XP on it, but now I cannot find the driver for the graphics card...
    Does this DNA-ATI driver will sort it out..or is there a way i can sort this problem out..

    Download the latest ATI driver and then get it to install on your laptop by running it through the DH Mobility Modder. You should also be able to download Dell's driver from their site.

    Download and see how to use the DH Modder here. Drivers straight from ATI won't install on a laptop, but they will install if the .inf's are moddified. Which is what the DH Mobility Modder does.

    VGA Controller is your graphics card. You need to go back to Dell's website and carefully read their instructions on how to properly install the video driver.

    After exctacting the driver from ATI did you modifiy it with the DH Modder?, and if so did it report that it was successfully modified? The error you see is what you will get if you try to apply drivers directy from ATI without modifying them first. If this isn't working for you, you should just download the drivers from Dell or install them from the Dell driver DVD/CD.
