    Recently did a clean install of Vista on my 1330. Everything seemed fine except I couldn't install the latest Intel GM965 Express Chipset Family driver (R179345.exe) from the Dell site. I get the following error:

    "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing
    the software."

    Is this driver needed if I have the discrete graphics card?

    Just wondering, because I was able to install it without any problems a few days ago but I'm having problems after the clean install.

    No, I am pretty sure that is the driver for the X3100.
