I've had my XPS1530 since Jan/2008 now and I have the same problem. I tried Windows Update's updates and got nothing but problems, had to roll back to the Dell Drivers that came with my laptop, or update from Dell's website.

Just curious, what kind of problems?  I wouldn't think Vista would update a device unless the driver was signed and approved for that device. I guess that would be asking too much from Microsoft & Dell.

Until such time as Dell offer updated drivers (in which case you could be waiting quite a while yet!?), your only other option is to try either newer official nVidia Forceware GO drivers, or modded drivers from the likes of LaptopVideo2Go (select your OS from the menu on the left).

These are their latest laptop drivers (scroll down for Dell specific versions).

Just wondering, do most people get the update drivers from Windows Update or wait for Dell?

This is my first laptop.  When I was using a desktop, I always get the latest drivers from the manufactures instead of from Windows Update.

Thanks.
