Hi all

Had my M15x for about 3 weeks now, and its been running great. I got Metro 2033 on the weekend, and loaded it up, but it won't run. It gets to the animation screen for the manufacturer, and crashes. I've loaded it from 2 places, the game DVD and Steam, and it's the same from both sources.

My drivers are all up to date, and everything else that I've loaded runs perfectly. The windows solution centre has nothing to offer. I was wondering if anyone else has come across a similar problem, and if so, do they have a fix.

Vel.

I hadn't thought about reverting to a previous driver version. This begs the question, does anyone have a link to the previous Dell driver version?
