Is it something you've installed?

I formated my computer and I'm installing drivers right now. Just don't know if it's usefull or not.

I don't remember installing it. I'm running fine.

I formatted, installed XP, installed SP2, installed my chipset and video drivers, and then all other drivers. Once that was done I defragged for clarity and haven't had an issue since.

Anything beyond drivers that Dell gives with it's computer is unecessary and bloatware, you dont need it unless you dont know how to do those options in windows.

The chipset from Intel is the only driver that you need in this respect I believe. I did not choose to install this and everything is fine. Get the newest drivers for everything and leave off this Dell bloatware. You lose nothing.
