I reformatted my hard drive and have everything up and running again. I used the Mediadirect install disk and reinstalled Medidirect. I added the taskmanager file during the install process and am able to access explorer from Mediadirect. I installed Nvidia drivers and sound card drivers in Mediadirect. My question is what other drivers do I need to install, do I need intel chipset drivers and all the other drivers that came with the computer? I am also having a problem in Mediadirect. It starts up and work, and I can watch Dvd's and listen to music. When I click on photos, nothing happens, it just sits there. When I try to search for music, it gets to 1% and then goes to blanks screen with mediadirect in upper left and just sits there. These are the only problems I am having, any help or suggestions? I have a 1710 XPS.
