If I update my graphics drivers to the ones on the CD Dell sent me, or the
ones I download off the web, the display on my brand new 9100 stops working.
An external monitor continues to display an image, but the LCD won't. If I
uninstall those drivers, all is well again (beyond getting prompted every
time I reboot to install the new hardware it "found", and the fact that I
can't run it in native mode).
Any suggestions? I've tried re-installing the OS several times, and I've
tried the Omega drivers. BTW, it did this right out of the box, before I
had a chance to muck with it. Not a good start... And then, after getting
all my software installed, I run through the diagnostics with a Tech Support
person (good ol' Elvis), and find out that there's a bad block on my HD.
*sigh*
Thanks,
Clint
