I have a new Dell Latitude D620 which has the 16:9 screen format. Vista defaults to the 4:3 format. Dell does have drivers for the laptop, but only under the XP OS. Are the XP drivers compatible?

D620 Video Drivers
I have a D820 with the nVidia card. You'll have to wait until Dell releases a driver because they're Dell-specific nVidia chips.

Not in any Dell laptop I've ever seen. Certainly the ATI in my Dell laptop is bog standard.
What makes you think they're Dell unique? Dell hasn't done that in 3-4 years. It's not cost effective.
Did you try the nVidia beta drivers available on nVidia's website?

I tried the XP Drivers from Dell and they appear to have solved the problem. Thanks!
