None of these worked.  Is there a driver that supports Direct2D from Dell?  Anything?  Dell's the one that started me out with IE7, so maybe Dell should come up with a driver that makes IE9 operational?  Makes me kinda mad . . .

May we ask what you have for graphics currently? You can find out from Device Manager.

You might try going to Intel's download site and updating your drivers to the latest versions. Also, make sure you have all the Vista updates and service packs applied.
