Alright, updated my video drivers and now games open, but now my M17x wont pickup my internet, it does for about 5 seconds after geting out of sleep mode and it works fine, then its taken of the list of available internet then i cant connect to any and no options appear either.

Uninstall the NVIDIA Ethernet driver.

if that doesnt work, and you are just using wireless then

I always go to control panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing>change adapter settings, and right click and disable the Nvidia nForce networking controller. And make sure your wireless is enabled and restart the computer. It will work.

Then revert if you want Ethernet connection

How do I uninstall the NVIDIA Ethernet driver? Just got H1N1 and my brain is too... dead to remember anything. And judas i saw no option to disable the Nvidia nforce networking controller.

you can uninstall the driver through add/remove Nvidia drivers i believe and there is an option to remove only Ethernet?

Well for me i had Local area connection and had the disable option.

Go to Control Panel>Uninstall a Program>NVIDIA Drivers

Select "Remove only the following" and remove the ethernet driver.

Alright, removed the ethernet driver, and i didnt notice the Nvidia nforce networking controller at the bottom, disabled it and now i have internet

i knew it my friend! when you have an issue you always learn from it

what you mean with tweak of wifi? you cant connect to wifi? let me help you with this too.

you dont have to uninstall or disable nvidia ethernet controller. just go to device manager-> select the nvidia ethernet controller-> then properties ->then advanced-> then set device sleep on disconnect as disabled. thats all.

Well did some gaming last night on the M17x.
Ran Batman Arkham Asylum, Grid and BF2. All maxed out and have no issues at all. Running the vid drivers from the dell site.
No stuttering in any of the games.
No issues with general use either. V Happy. Booting a good bit quicker then Vista also
