just allows you to see the screen interpretation of the settings. the
blue fn key still controls them just fine.
i suppose you can download that from the dell website.

Hello. I recently reinstalled XP on my Vostro laptop when I ordered
Vista (I know, it was an option to order XP. Accidents happen)

My girlfriend ordered the same laptop and on her factory
installation, she has a bunch of extra things when using that
laptop. It must be some driver I don't have installed, but I thought
I got every single one that I needed from the website.

The features I'm talking about are things like, she can see a little
brightness tab whenever she adjusts the brightness and things like
that. I also don't have a battery indicator, so I don't know what
driver I missed

If anybody can help me, please reply!

Thanks!

Hey. Thanks guys for the posts, that's what I was looking for. I still
cannot see the battery life of my computer though.

Another question. My ATI drivers are really screwy. I get an error
about the VRU not working correctly and it wants to send in an error
report. When this happens, the system locks up for about 10 seconds
and doesn't respond to anything.

This is XP SP2 with all the current updates and the most current video
drivers on from the Dell website. If anybody else is having this
problem or knows of a solution, I would appreciate it if somebody
could send me a message about it.

Thanks
.
