I installed 10.3 since it's release but it was a messy install. I downloaded the notebook version and whenever I choose install nothing happens. There is no option in windows 7 x64 to remove the program ....
View 5 RepliesI'm awaiting the arrival of a FX2500 (a 7900GTX by any other name) for my Inspiron 9400 and had downloaded the drivers which were recommended to work (Forceware 169.04 - anything newer wouldn't have the O/C ability)...
However, I thought I'd give them a try on my current setup with a Go 7800 to see what effect they had...
I uninstalled the current drivers I was using (92.92 Mobileforce Drivers) using the uninstall option in the start menu...
I then made sure that all drivers for the display adapter had been uninstalled.
Then I ran Driver Cleaner Pro, then CCleaner (both the Cleaner and the Registry issue button) and Driver Sweeper for good measure...
However, when I rebooted and tried to install the Nvidia Forceware169.04 drivers the installation got in a little way, and then said that it could not continue as the drivers were not for the card it detected!..
It could have something to do with when I first booted in after removing all the drivers, XP said it had found a new card, asked for the drivers, but while it was doing this the little icon on the taskbar for a new card flashed up "new hardware found Nvidia 7800 Mobileforce X2"....
It appears that even though I've done everything I can think of to remove the "Mobileforce" label from my computer (including going into regedit and finding and deleting every string which mentions mobileforce) something still remains!
Or - does 169.04 simply not work with Go 7800s?
It's not a big problem because i've reinstalled my old Mobileforce drivers - but it's left me concerned that when I install my new FX2500 card next week, I may not be able to get rid of some stubborn bit of a program somewhere on my comp........................
when i go to unintstall microsoft's age of empires II game, it gives me this weird error message.

4- From dell.com
COZ i feel that 10.3 is NOT the best driver
Trying to get rid of these questionably useful programs -- but I don't see entries for them in add/remove programs in the control panel (or for any of the other useless VAIO software packages that come on OEM machines sans "fresh start")
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've updated my drivers through the Dell site from R221539 to R257949 and now suddenly I can't open the Catalyst Control Center.
After installation it said there's a warning in the log, I checked the log and there was nothing wrong there.
1. Download and run Catalyst v10.2 driver - let it extract into C:ATISUPPORT but cancel the installation once the driver is extracted.
2. Run Mobility Modder - browse to the driver in C:ATISupport10-2_xxxx_dd_ccc_wdm_enu - hit modify - wait until driver is modified.
3. Open Device Manager - find your video card or VGA controller - right click and select Update Driver

The first ATI Catalyst 10.3a is out. Lets install it in our ATi enabled laptops and see the improvements here.

Official Notes:
This ATI Catalyst™ driver update will unlock new performance improvements on top of the already previewed features in the initial Catalyst™ 10.3 Preview driver we sampled you in February. This driver will be available to download on March 17th from undgerground.amd.com and it will be called "Catalyst 10.3a Preview". On March 24th we will post the official Catalyst™ 10.3 WHQL certified on amd.com. The difference between the two is that Catalyst™ 10.3a Preview will contain future Eyefinty 6 updates and an Alien vs. Predator optimization which the Catalyst™ 10.3 WHQL posting does not have.
Gosh! I am so excited

Update: Official ATi Catalyst 10.3 Suite Available Now
I have a vague idea that it has something to do with my ATI drivers?
I get the message right after I log in. I can access my desktop and the Internet, but the taskbar with the programs at the top is missing.
When I go to Explorer, my laptop also can't find any of my libraries (documents, pictures, etc.).
Anyone else has experienced a similar problem? It happened yesterday...
I found it on strags.com today......and wanted to share it with all of you .....

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx
After reading many reviews here, I finally ordered and received my Studio XPS with the RGBLED screen. I felt the reds were a little harsh so I made a few adjustments in Catalyst Control Center that seemed to help.
But I still wanted to make a few more adjustments...So before I got too deep I checked and saw there was an updated driver. So now I updated the driver and it seemed to install okay except now the Catalyst Control Center won't open.
Key new features:
- game profiles now removed from driver to separate XML files. That way when a new game comes out you don't have to wait for the next driver release to have specific fixes or patches for that game.
These profiles will come out as "often as required"
- eyefinity is now supported in crossfire and crossfireX modes
- bezel correction for eyefinity
- 3D support updates
- see pic above
The Catalyst 10.3 beta drivers have been leaked. They support Mobility Radeon cards.
I tried them on my VAIO FW (Win 7 / x64) and they worked (even though Sony asked ATI not to be included in their driver program)
Sorry to bother folks with this nuisance, however, I updated my ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 drivers via Dell's website to 8.65 and ever since, the Catalyst Control Center refuses to run. I politely click on it, the machine thinks for a while and then, rather rudely, simply ignores my request.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy current OS is Windows 8 Pro, Display driver: AMD 13-4_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe1  If set Backlit brightness to level 2 for example, and after some time display turns off (turn off display after X minute) by itself, or restart the laptop; the Backlit brightness level remains same (level 2) but the actual Luminosity (Intensity of backlit) changes to something else.2  If I decrease the Backlit brightness (Fn + F4) to level 0 (the minimum level), and if I further press the key combination (Fn + F4) to decrease Backlit brightness, it will change the Backlit brightness, but the Backlit brightness should not be changing because it already reaches to the minimum level.This issue doesn't happen in Windows 7 with the same driver. this apart from reverting back to ATI v12.1 ?

I wanted to update my ATI CCC driver. So I downloaded the latest ccc, uninstalled from from my laptop, restarted, installed latest ccc, restarted. Now when I start windows 7 the little icon doesnt show up in the system tray.
I have an ati mobility radeon 4200 on windows 7 x64.
I am getting frequently the message ' Catalyst control center has stopped working' on my laptop. My laptop is G505(59379534) with win 8.1 64 bit os. I learnt that updating to latest catalyst drivers from AMD site may solve this problem. But how can I locate specific driver suited to my laptop in AMD site for downloading. Also today morning the message ' Display driver stopped and it was recovered successfully' was flashed in laptop. So I think latest display driver is also needed. Whether I have to install any updates for solving above problems if so how to identify required drivers for downloading.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an FW11M which I formatted when I bought it, put on vista ultimate and after a weekend of fiddling, got all of the devices detected with correct drivers installed.
Anyway, now I would like to update the graphics drivers to the new ATI 9.1 catalysts except that every time I try, I run the setup, it appears as though it is working and then says installation complete...
however, it changes nothing. Device manager still reports the old driver version and the catalyst control centre does not run

This has started happening after I tried to do a BIOS update last week and I ended up with the blue screen of death & had to recover my whole laptop.
Is it normal that dell.ca would have fewer choices of screens than dell.com? I'm looking at the studio 15, and dell.com lists Hi Resolution/Bright,
glossy widescreen 15.4 WLED display (1440x900) as a choice, which is what I want, but dell.ca doesn't. When I view the system specs though, that choice is listed as on option.
