i have tried the noDDc Option but i dont work again.  perhabs there is 
another problem.

should i try 915resolution or should this 
(http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html) driver work better?
or should the original driver also work?

i cant change my videocard because its an dell optiplex sx280 (small 
version) with onboard video card :-(
