What display driver do I need?

Question

So I re-installed Windows XP professional on my Inspiron E1505 notebook.  Anyway, I'm still getting this message as soon as I start Windows:   cli.exe   The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate application.   I installed all the drivers except the 'display' driver, because there was too many to choose from and I didn't know which. Here's the list I see:   Dell 1707FP Dell 1707FPc Dell 1707FPt Dell 1707FPV Dell 1907FP Dell 1907FPc Dell 1907FPt Dell 1907FPV Dell 2407WFP Dell E156FPb Dell E156FPc Dell E156FPf Dell E157FPb Dell E157FPf Dell E176FPb Dell E176FPc Dell E176FPf Dell E176FPm Dell E177FPb Dell E177FPf Dell E177FPm Dell E196FPb Dell E196FPf Dell E197FPb Dell E197FPf Dell E207WFP Dell E773c-ULD Dell E773s  So I have 2 questions:   1.) Which display driver do I need? I have a 15.4' Inspiron E1505 with a TrueLife Monitor.   2.) Will this resolve the 'cli.exe not found' issue? And if not, what can I do to fix it?   Thanks, --Nik

Did you install the Intel Chipset Driver first?  This is critical.    If you enter your Service Tag Number on the Dell Support website you will be able to see a 'system configuration' that will show you exactly what shipped on your laptop.  You can even have it scanned and see what you have added since the machine was built and shipped to you by Dell.   With the information from the system configuration utillity you will be able to see what hardware you have and, therefore, what drivers you need.  As far as I know, you only need to install the video driver, integrated or discrete card, whatever the case may be for laptops.   The file cli.exe is the ATI Catalyst Control Center, necessary for your display to function properly.  It is probably mucked up and needs to be reinstalled.

Correct. Notebooks don't use display drivers, they do use video drivers.
