    I have a dual boot Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows XP Pro SP2 on my M1330. Since Dell.com does not offer video drivers for XP yet, I have downloaded driver version 163.67 from laptopvideo2go.com and installed it without a hitch.

    However, when I close the lid of my laptop while in XP, the LCD does not turn off like it does when I am in Vista. I tried to look for the same driver version as what I have in Vista, 101.43, but I can't find it for XP.

    Any ideas on how to fix this so my LCD turns off when I close the lid?

    Thanks.

    I appreciate the reply, but the NVIDIA drivers on that site are outdated, the newest ones they have are from 2005.

    BTW, I have an NVIDIA 8400M GS 128MB memory dedicated in case that helps anyone
