Cannot load video driver on E1705

I reformatted my E1705 and have installed Dell notebook system software and the chipset driver and I am still unable to get the video driver to load.

There are three possible drivers - Intel, ATI and nVidia. Are you certain you're trying to load the correct one?

The config shows CG108 Card, Graphics, 256MB, M54, 9400 IMGA3, which I believe to be the ATI option, correct?

It is, yes. Did you load the Dell notebook system software, intel chipset driver, and at least Service pack 2 before you attempt to load the video driver?

Well, here's the deal. The driver CD that came with the machine does not have the ATI driver. I was assuming it was the correct driver for the machine, but turns out not. I downloaded the ATI driver and things are now as they should be. Thanks for the mental nudge.
