Yeah, I've did that a while ago. I think it might be the graphics driver. Dell made updated it restricted. I should search for a hack for it.

3.41 performs well on it. I feel upgrading the driver would help with the new GPU technology in 3.8

You need an Intel 865GV driver. Dell as usual haven't released a new one in ages, and the official Intel ones will complain that your pc "doesn't meet the minimum specification".

You could try forcing the driver to install manually, make sure you've got system restore turned on just in case you end up with a blank/corrupted display.

Eff System Restore, F8 > Last Known Good config is my Method.

Usually I get "contact hardware manufacturer" error for the Intel Driver Download.

Any recommendations for Driver Management? I use MMC but I get that error with that.

I am not at that computer right now, I went to Parents to use their X1550...
