    Hey Guys,

    I've just done a clean install of Windows Vista, and my system is terrible now! I have a Dell XPS 1530, the scores in the performance information are:

    Processor: 5.0
    Memory (RAM): 4.9
    Graphics: 1.0
    Gaming graphics: 1.0
    Primary hard disk: 5.3

    It's clear that graphics are the issue, despite having a Nvidea Geforce 8400.

    Do I need to reinstall these drivers or something? Also, how can i tell if all of the drivers have been installed?

    Windows suckssssssssssssssssss

    Yes, you need to re-install the correct drivers for your system which I assume is a laptop, the XPS M1530. You can download them from the following links:
    Chipset: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...0&servicetag=&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=-1&impid=-1

    The wifi drivers I linked to above are for Intel 3945/4965, if you have a different wireless adapter built-in, you can download the correct driver from this link. Install the above drivers in the same order they're listed, chipset first.... good luck!

    (if Windows sucks so bad, why have you "just done a clean install of Windows Vista"? Why not go with on of the free Linux distros if Windows is so awfully unbearably horrible?)
