    You need to reinstall your graphics driver. You should have gotten a CD with it when you bought your notebook. Otherwise go to Dells website and download the latest one for your notebook. (You put in your express tag to see your particular downloads.)

    I know. That was what i was gonna suggest. But since Wu Jen said it, I didn't have to. You do know that a few posts from now, someone IS gonna suggest the exact same thing, right?

    And doing a system restore might undo some other stuff. Downloading a driver or installing it from the CD is the best route.
