    First thing I would do is to update the driver from the ATI or nVidia site not the dell site as on rare occasions the Dell site can be a version behind

    thanks... actually got it sorted... was a known issue with the xps - something to do with graphics card - dell came out and changed card and motherboard yest FOC even though its out of warranty!

    If they fixed it out of warranty then I'm guessing it was the infamous NVIDIA "bad bumps" fault.
