Dell XPS M2010 crashes after re-installing video driver.
Last response: in Windows XP
I am working on a Dell XPS M2010 portable desktop for a friend. It was crashing on start up so I reformatted it. After re installing XP, It worked great until I installed the video driver. As soon as you start it up, it either has a blue screen error, or it goes to the desktop but is locked up with a weird noise across the speakers. I started it in safe mode and it works fine. I also tried installing an older version of the driver, but it did the same thing. I tried updating other computer drivers also. I was thinking this is probably the video card but I'm not sure. Does anyone have a suggestion? I think is has a ATI Radeon Mobility X1800 if I remember right.

If that has no effect, delete the driver and reboot, and let windows detect new hardware.

Best solution
You probably have already been to the DELL site:
Under Video XP for this model, Dell has listed 8 Drivers. The Radeon Mobility X1800 is listed as optional, so if you run without it, then the one installed by Windows is sufficient. Note that the other 7 drivers are either urgent or recommended, so take the appropriate action. Hope this helps.
