I wanted to post this notebook finally broke. Looks like a problem with the DC power jack on it. Not really wanting to pull the whole thing apart to fix it so I may just be searching for a new laptop. Other then that the notebook has run...

I resolved this a while back there ws an option in the video settings for hardware acceleration that I changed and it resolved. Ive also started compressing my DVD's to WMV to get a bit of extra battery life out of the m1210 when...

I wanted to let everyone know I got my 160 Gig Perpendicular Drive Hitachi Travelstar. Put it in my Dell m1210 it recognized right away. Im loading a game on it as we speak. I will say I have ran a few drive tests and it is plenty fast....
