HELP

Ok here's the deal.  I have had my Inspiron 600m for a little over a year.  About 3 months ago the 40g hard drive died.  I purchased a new 120wd hd.  Installed it no porblems.  Then upon re-installing my os (xp pro)  I had all kinds of issues with drivers.  Everything from audio to networking and video adapters.  Pretty much got everything to work properly, but I'm still having an issue with the video> I can't get the ATI radion 9000 to work properly.    Screen goes black with any settings above minimal.  I don't know if its a chipset problem but I have tryed just about everything.  Am I the only one experiencing this issue.  Man I need some help This computer is my life line when I'm in Iraq and by the looks of things I'll be heading back soon.  Please help.  Thanks

    Dell uses proprietry bios settings to stop much mucking around with components by users. Check out the dell support site for drivers for your notebook especially graphics drivers. If this fails, get in touch with dell support by phone.
    btw. Good luck in iraq.
