G565 refuses to install latest ATI Drivers :(

My G565 have the integrated Radeon HD 4270 graphics accelerator.
I use EXACTLY the correct drivers from AMD by selecting the driver from this page:
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
For some reason it does install the new Catalyst Control Center just fine, however it wont install the new display driver, it stays at the old 8.760.0.0 from 2010-07-19... I've even ran driversweeper and done complete uninstalls...
Why does it refuse to install?? Are we reallly stuck at using the latest driver from Lenovo which is outdated???

I want the greatly improved catalyst control center + some performance improvements and fixes.
One is that graphics acceleration in FF is improved, also apparently sometimes FF4-5.x caused the GPU to run very hot in earlier driver releases.
I would have hoped for some serious help here but I guess I have to find some registry hack or another way to install new AMD/ATI drivers from now on...
Lenove must've blocked it from completely installing... I can't see why since it's just the pretty common HD 4270 (4200 series) onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip in the RS880M Chipset!!
FULLY supported by the drivers from AMD!

HOW TO: Install LATEST ATI CATALYST drivers

So ATI/AMD doesn't consistently update the "BootCamp" drivers and as a gamer I want utmost performance out of what I have (of course without OCing). Therefore, I went searching for a solution and found it and I will explain it here, step by step. Forgive me if this has already been posted. Note that I did this in XP and NOT Vista.
1. Download the latest CATALYST drivers from here:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
2. Open the driver software as if you were going to install it and let it extract to its default directory. Take note of what that directory is as you will need to know that file path for later. Once it extracts it will move on to an installation. Stop/cancel the installation the first chance you get.
3. REMOVE your currently installed ATI drivers. There are two ways to do this:
-1. If you downloaded the actually CATALYST Software Suite, there will be a program in the folder to where it extracted called "AtiCimUn" that will remove your drivers.
-2. Google "remove ATI drivers" and I think it's the first link that tells you a detailed step by step method of removing the drivers.
4. Restart after successfully removing the drivers.
5. Download MobilityModder here: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
-If you scroll closer to the bottom of that page, there will be a download link AND instructions for the PROPER method of installing MobilityModder.
6. Run MobilityModder
7. Browse to the directory where the drivers are installed.
8. Click "Modify"
9. When the modification is complete, close MobilityModder and Right Click on "My Computer" then click on Properties
10. Click the "Hardware" tab
11. Click on Device Manager
12. At least one device should have a yellow circle with a black question mark in it. For me, Windows saw it as a "VGA Controller". Right click it and click "Update Drivers"
13. It will ask you some stuff about if you want Windows Update to look for drivers, say "No not this time" and click next
14. Select "Install from a list or specific location{Advanced) and click next
15. Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install"
16. Click on the "Have Disk" button
17. Browse to the folder where the ATI drivers were extracted to (MobilityModder will have rewritten the modified files to the same location)
18. The specific file you are looking for is a Configuration file whose icon looks like a white notepad with a yellowish cog that has some metal rod going through it. Click on it and click "open"
19. At this point Windows should recognize which card you have specifically, if not, it will have the entire list of cards that driver can update. If you run into that, just find it in the list.
20. Let windows copy the files, if it tells you that the drivers are not digitally signed, say "continue anyway". It's just an effect of the MobilityModder modifying the files and since it doesn't have a certificate, it's not considered signed.
21. When it's done click finish.
22. Restart
23. Happy new drivers
I'm thinking you might be able to skip the MobilityModder part and just skip straight to directing Windows right to where the drivers are instead of having to mod the files. I'm not sure if it works because I haven't done it but you're welcome to try. If it doesn't work it just means you have to use MobilityModder.
I hope this helps.

Update: After using the method described above the drivers did install successfully however, when I loaded some games I noticed that they did not take up the whole screen. No amount of changing the resolution solved the problem.
So I completely removed the drivers and loaded unmodified drivers. I had to find my x1600 from the list and there were actually two but I just took the first one. I let Windows copy the files after warning that it can't confirm they were for my hardware. After a restart I tried my games again and they were taking up the whole screen as they did when I had BootCamps outdated drivers.
So I can say that you CAN skip steps 5-9 (the steps for the mobility modding). You'll just have to find your drivers and some of them do show up multiple times. I'm probably going to try the other x1600 listing just to see what happens. I'm not sure if there's a difference between the same listings (mine was Radeon x1600 followed by another Radeon x1600) but I'm assuming there is or else ATI would put so many >.<

Unable to install latest Nvidia drivers. (GT72)

I just got my GT72 in the mail and now I'm about setting it up.
When I tried installing the latest Nvidia drivers (340.52-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe)
and the setup failed with an error that it can't find any compatible graphic adapter.
The Nvidia drivers that was running on the GT72 was 333.something, I don't remember.
I tried uninstalling this driver that I had just the "Microsoft basic VGA adapter", but the Nvidia Setup is still not working.
And yes, I was making sure that I switched the graphics to NVIDIA before installing the driver.
Any suggestions?

Follow these steps to do s fresh clean installation of any version of nvidia drivers:-
Press "Windows Key" + "R" together and type %temp% then press "Ok".
In that new window, press “Ctrl” + “A” together to select all the files and folders
Then press “Shift” + “Delete” to remove them. (leave few files which you are not able to delete)
Try "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) " to completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store) :
http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
1. Better to create a "system restore" point before using it.
2. You do NOT need to uninstall "NVIDIA Graphics" drivers before using DDU
3. Open the link and click on "Download" button. It will open another page, select the topmost "Download" button for the latest version.
4. Then run : "DisplayDriverUninstaller.exe" file
5. It will give you a notice to create "Restore Point", so better to create one ( if not created earlier ).
6. Click "No" when it asks "Reboot in safe mode now ?"
7. Select Nvidia from the dropdown menu on the top, Select all the 5 checkboxes there. Then click on "Clean and Restart" button.
8. try "Perform Clean Installation" while installing the latest driver

How to install latest video drivers on Bootcamp?

Currently running bootcamp on Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp 4.0. The video driver that I need is the latest driver for the Nvidia 9600M GT. My software updates (Apple) on Windows 7 state that I have available updates. It's not possible with this graphics card to install the latest driver through Nvidia's website the easy way due to it stating I need to contact my manufacturer. This is a dangerous loop, and I know my driver is old for my GPU because my driver says it's from 1/19/2011. In addition to that, the games that I play on Windows 7 also state that my drivers are out of date.
Thanks!
Zach

Have posted this over and over again. TAKE A LOOK.
You have to install Apple chipset to enable the device. Can't see it. Nviidia won't auto detect a Mac ever, unless you have a PCIe card you install of course and easy to swap out (Mac Pro tower).
After you install Apple BC drivers, guess what? uninstall the nvidia device driver adn program and use Driver Sweeper 3.2 to deep clean, and may as well run CCleaner 3.x as well (Registry tool also).
Same for audio but that goes a lot easier (Realtek or Cirrus drivers).

External monitor not working after installing latest NVIDA drivers

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I installed bootcamp and Windows 7 x64. I performed all the Windows updates then installed the Apple Bootcamp driver CD. Everything was working fine and I was able to connect an external LCD monitor using a mini display port to HDMI cable (the LCD only has HDMI ins).
I then came across a piece of Windows software that requires the latest production NVIDIA drivers so I went to the NVIDIA web site and downloaded their installer for the GT330M which is the chipset in this MacBook Pro.
The NVIDIA installers ran fine and installed version 275.33 of their drivers, however, when I hook up the external display the primary display goes black and the external monitor simply cycles through all the inputs like it can't find a signal. When I unplug the mini display adapter from the MBP the MBP screen returns to normal.
Thoughts?
TIA,
-Noah
PS. Windows 7 *****. Took over 3 hours to install and apply all the Windows updates with countless reboots. Lion took under 20 minutes to fresh install.

Well low and behold I tried clearing PRAM again and I reset my monitor to factory defaults. Reconnected my monitor and the thing works now. Very strange but I'm Happy that it's working again. *WHEW*

Not able to install latest Konica drivers on MAC OS 10.8.x

I am trying to install drivers for a networked Konica Minolta Bizhub C360 printer on Mac OS 10.8.x. Using latest driver from Konica for 10.8.x. The Mac cannot find the printer on the network! Worked on earlier version of OS. Looking for solution.

I've been scouring every place I can possibly think of for nearly four hours trying to find an Acrobat 9 Mac download - no luck I can find Windows downloads back to 8, but nothing for Mac.

Can not install latest ATI mobility Radeon x1600 display driver for my Satellite A100

Hello,
my Satellite A100-704 PSAA9E is equipped with the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display graphic card, for which ATI provides a new driver, named Catalyst 8.3. My issue is that when I run the verification software I get a message telling me that driver is not suitable to be installed on my system.
Is that any information available about it? Can I still install the new Catalyst driver or it's better if I don't? Oh, the current driver I have running on my notebook is the one downloaded from the Toshiba site, 8.292 I believe.
Any information is appreciated. Thank you very much.

> Can I still install the new Catalyst driver or it's better if I don't?
I dont recommend the installation of any 3rd party graphic drivers. The fact is that such drivers are not tested and not certified and nobody knows how such driver would affect the notebooks hardware in worst case it could lead to the GPU overheating and damage
best regards

Liquify and ATI Drivers on an iMac.

Hello,
This is driving me insane, so i would appreciate any help at all.
There is a SERIOUS problem with PS CS6 and ATI HD 5750.
Liquify tool does not work...
Here are the details:
iMac i7
16 GB RAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
What happens is that the moment i enter Liquify's UI the mouse stops moving!!!!
I only have mouse movement to the left and to the right (to choose or tweak brush sizes etc.)
but when the mouse is over the image, the crosshairs are frozen, no movement at all!!!
If i try to liquify something on the image it does not work.
The only way to make Liquify work, is to disable "Use Graphics Processor" in PS preferences.
So, this is clearly a driver issue, the thing is that ATI driver updates (for HD5750 ON iMacs) come directly from Apple and there is no available download on Amd's site, so i actually can't upgrade drivers myself....
I should also mention the following:
I have both Production Premium 5.5 and 6 installed on the same machine
I had PS CS6 beta installed, but i removed it (using the uninstaller - The Adobe way) prior to the Production premium CS6 installation.
The Liquify tool had the exact same problem in PS CS6 Beta (I was running 10.7.3 at that time), but i didn't mention anything, i thought it was just a bug with the Beta version.
It's also worth mentioning that the Liquify tool in PS CS 5.5 works just fine. (probably because it doesn't use GPU accel.)
Othen than that, i am really dissapointed and frustrated with the whole CS6 experience so far...
I couldn't even install PP CS6 at first, and i was forced to reboot the iMac in safe mode to complete the installation.
I would really appreciate any help, i'm stuck.
Thank you.

On the one hand, Apple users benefit from Apple taking on the responsibility of integrating everything together so there's minimum fuss. On the other hand, sometimes you have to wait for solutions that work, where a PC user has more options... I had trouble with Liquify using the latest ATI drivers (on my PC), so I just uninstalled them and installed a version they released 2 months ago that works…
Noel,
One can do similar stuff on the Mac too, provided you really, really know what you're doing. What's more, not only can you use .kext files from previous OS versions, but you can even hack them or roll your own. One notable case was the set of applefan.kext files provided by an outfit called macgeniuses to cool down the Power Mac MDD G4 for purposes of running a mutant, flashed graphics card they sold for it. One has to be superextra careful though, or you'll turn the machine into an extremely noisy air filter or you can literally fry the cpu and gpu in no time.

Radeon 9800 in a 7200 (with Sonnet Crescendo); 9.2x ATI drivers?

I know I know...why waste the time (and money).
The card works on 9.1 but wanted to see if anyone knew if:
OS9 Helper would be worth a try, or extracting the 9.2x ATI files using the TomeViewer? I have no real need of anything else in 9.2x
The Crescendo is obviously my obstacle...so I guess I could copy system folder and give it a go (w/o hope of the processor upgrade working).
Besides forgetting about this entirely, is there any this else I could try? I'm just looking to get optimal page draws/graphics performance.
Thanks in advance,
DHS

David,
I probably didn't make my point clearly. This was something that a lot of users experienced when the card first came out.
Here's what I should have posted:
1) Installing the ATI drivers from their bundled CD over existing OS9 drivers (my old ones were for the original Radeon Mac Edition) would cause severe problems including failure to boot.
2) Removing one OS extension (I forget which one) allowed the computer to run in 9, but with no video acceleration.
3) Trashing all ATI extensions, then installing from the CD, and OS9 worked, although I find the 9200 less stable in 9 than in X.
I hope newer downloadable driver packages have improved the situation.
OSX discovery: Although the 3D acceleration was there in X, the drivers (either CD or latest downloads) whacked my 2D performance. The Dock, scrolling, moving windows, all went jerky. A benchmark test showed that 2D performance had dropped over 25 percent. I reinstalled Jag, did not install the 9200 drivers and everything was fine with the ATI drivers that Jag installed. Same with Panther. I did not add any extra ATI drivers to what Panther already had. Works fine, even with a VRAM-hungry flight sim.

Serious W7 Bug - ALL ATi Drivers for Thinkpads /w Switchable Graphics Technology bricks OS.

Alas, i have found one serious bug for my Thinkpad.
It comes with Switchable Graphics Card Technology, with an Intel GMA 4500MHD and ATi Mobility Radeon 3470 paired together.
I have initially installed Pre-RTM 7260(ok, i know it's leaked), and faced the problem for the first time after installing the ATi drivers from either Windows Update OR ATi's website. However i have downgraded back to Release Candidate as there was stability issues with EXPLORER.exe
Anyway, surprising what i've though to be a show-stopper bug was also present in RC 7100. After installing(or rather, midway through) the driver installation, the screen blinks for a moment and after that, Explorer.exe is nowhere to be found with only wallpaper. OS seems to be bricked as restart does nothing. Only a System Restore prior to installation would solve the issue.
After diagnosing the problem, i have found the issue to be with the Switchable Graphics Card system. In BIOS, it was set to Swithable Graphics, with OS Detection set to Enabled, Thinkpad LCD Display(for output). I tried to set the graphics to either Discrete(ATi) or Integrated(Intel) but when i booted the system up it was in SVGA resolution and DXDIAG stating no graphics found. When it was in Discrete, i tried to install the ATi drivers once again, and although installation was successful, after restarting the same thing happened.
To be fair, i have repeated the drivers installation EXACTLY the same for both Windows 7 Builds(7100 RC and 7260 Pre-RTM) and the same problem occured. I have also tried to install the ATi drivers before the Intel Chipset(and basically the rest) and it's the same nevertheless.
I believe that this is a serious issue with Switchable Graphics Technology for Windows 7 Beta, since we have to make do with the generic Microsoft display adapter alone. I hope Lenovo engineers can put priority a solution for this as soon as possible.

This is Dxdiag after i set other options than Switchable Graphics
http://img30.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error3yyt.png
http://img41.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error2k.png
This is my updates.
PS: The Ati card is showing a triangle icon in Device Manager too, but i guess updating it brings the same bricking result.

Sorry to hear you are having difficulties.
When I installed RC1 (build 7100), it came with a built-in driver that worked just fine for the discrete graphics in my W500.
A few weeks later, I installed the current release Vista driver for integrated graphics (this one) and it is working just fine as well. Installing the Lenovo driver gave me the ATI control panel (not sure what use that is), otherwise, it didn't affect performance either way.
I have switchable graphics turned off in the BIOS, OS detection turned off, and have the machine set to use the discrete graphics only. I think it would be a bit much to expect either Microsoft or Lenovo to support the switchable graphics this early in the development of Windows 7. Besides, the discrete graphics doesn't eat up the battery that much - I still get 3 hours of battery life, which is sufficient for my needs.
Maybe try turning switchable graphics and switchable graphics detection off in your BIOS, that might get you running again.

MSI 4670 Video Card and NVIDIA/ATI drivers on K8NGM2-FID

I installed an MSI R4670-2D512 video card yesterday and had a problem with drivers that I'd like to understand better. What I did was uninstall all the NVIDIA drivers, install the board, install the ATI drivers, and update the ATI drivers (with reboots). In the end, I had no LAN connection, and XP's hardware warnings (and Device Manager) showed no "Other PCI Bridge," "SM Bus Control," and "Video Controller." Reinstalling drivers from the motherboard's CD got all those going again, but I'm wondering if that's created any underlying NVIDIA/ATI conflicts. I've disabled GeForce 6150 under Display Adapters, leaving the 4670. That covers the video controller, but should I do the same for the other two? And should I have even needed any of the three? Thanks.

Show us what you mean.
Actually, I misspoke: video controller and Display Adapters were in different categories. What do you want to see? Under Display Adapters, both the ATI 4670 and GeForce 6150 are listed. I disabled the latter (right click, disable), so there's a red X through it now. The three yellow '?' that were under Device Mgr > "Other Devices" are no longer there. They were listed at the time under "Other Devices," but once those motherboard CD's drivers were reloaded they dispersed to other locations with new names and the Other Devices category disappeared. I'm guessing one of those three is now called the "NVidia NForce Networking Controller," since when the problem arose there was only a "1394 Net Adapter" under Network Adapters. I couldn't find the other two, hence I wouldn't know what to show you.

Mplayer and VirtualBox error after installing ATI Drivers

I recently switched from the Open Source drivers for my ATI video card. Since that time some programs are refusing to load.
I switched to the Catalyst repository to install the new drivers for my card.
The specific error message I get when running the mplayer in the terminal is
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-1.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
the message for VirtualBox is
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libdirectfb-1.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So far only 2 programs have been giving me this error are mplayer and VirtualBox.
I have tried reinstalling directfb and mplayer, but this doesn't fix things.
I have run ldd `which mplayer` and the following is missing
libdirectfb-1.4.so.0 => not found
libfusion-1.4.so.0 => not found
libdirect-1.4.so.0 => not found
I am running 64bit Arch.
Thanks for your help

Thanks

After running that, I discovered that sdl needed to be rebuilt. Once I did that, everything works fine.

Installing Catalyst XP Drivers for ATi 1900 -- A Precautionary Tale

I downloaded the latest X1900 drivers for XP (running via BootCAmp) after I installed my X1900 - I didn't use the XP drivers CD made when Boot Camp runs.
It completely trashed my installation -- I simply couldn't get my two displays to function properly. One was always displaying a horizontally-squashed screen, or just not even getting to login. I tried booting into Safe Mode and using the Mac XP Drivers CD there -- not even the InstallShield could run properly. I tried installing the ATi Catalyst drivers in Safe Mode -- no way. "correct driver not found..." (I'd uninstalled the ATi drivers previously).
I ended up having to wipe my BC partition and re-install. Then use Mac XP drivers CD to install ATi drivers.
Now, every time I change an Appearances setting I get a message saying that "This driver is meant for an older version of Windows. The default VGA driver is being used instead." Which it isn't -- I have all the ATi options.
Anyone had any luck using driver updates direct from ATi's site?
Any idea why I'm getting this message?
TIA,
Mac Pro 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 6GB RAM, 160/320/320/320 HD, GeForce 7300 / ATi X1900 XT

Thanks, Stefan --
I didn't de-install the nVidia drivers!!! D'oh...on
the OS X side, I can just swap between the cards at
will, the correct drivers get loaded.
Yeah, one of the advantages of OSX over Windows. Windows tend to react very weird when changing graphics card and not deinstalling everything related to the old one beforehand.
Also, I didn't know about the .NET requirement...the
Catalyst installation didn't say anything about
that...although it did say I needed DirectX 8 -- but
since I don't play games, I assume that I can skip
that part?
Usually the Catalyst installation doesn't mention the .NEt, but when you want to use the Control Center it comes up with an error.
DirectX is a bit more than just for games, as it is a sort of layer between the application and the real hardware (e.g. graphics card), so I would propose getting the latest DirectX 9 package from the Microsoft website.
Also, how are you coping with the noise? My silent
cooler is working very nicely...
Coming from a long range of graphics card im my PC heydays, I had cards that were more silent and ones that were louder.
In fact before my switch to the MacPro in October 06 I had a PC with AMD 64-CPU and an ATI X1800 graphics card and in comparison the MacPro is less noisy.
And the ATI fan only kicks in, when I'm stressing it, so I can live with that.
TIA,
You're welcome (BTW: when do you come to Cologne ?)

[GX740] Installing ATI drivers

I wanted to install the latest drivers for my mobile HD Radeon 5870 videocard, so I went to ATI.com and downloaded the ones suited for my videocard. A friend told me I should check the MSI website for the drivers they recommend for my videocard, so I downloaded that one as well.
Now this is what I noticed at both drivers:
ATI.com drivers:
10-7_mobility_vista_win7_32-64_ccc.exe
Size:
68.9MB
Version:
v10.7
MSI.com drivers:
gx740_hd5870_8.732.0.0000_7x00.zip
Size:
197MB (!???)
Version:
- Why is the one from MSI nearly 3 times the size of ATI's driver?
- Do the ATI ones lack functionality compared to the one from MSI?
- Is it possible at all to install the ATI ones? (In case there are newer versions)
A fast reply is appreciated, I'm in need of these drivers!

Quote from: Mark on 16-August-10, 04:33:42
My recommendation would be to use the drivers supplied by MSI and if you have a problem with a particular game then first look for a game patch, otherwise install the latest drivers from the ATi website.
I don't know why the drivers from the MSI site are bigger; perhaps utilities are bundled with the download or something. Compare the two if you want. The drivers from the ATi website certainly won't perform worse at any rate.
I see, and I get your point. But since I'm a power user I want to run the latest drivers to get the most out of my hardware. Newer drivers usually means performance increases plus they fix issues from previous drivers, who doesn't want those?
Quote from: Bas on 16-August-10, 05:24:00
And that game is?
Well the first game I tried to play on this laptop: Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 - Jedi Outcast (Multiplayer). It's a really old game but it used to work just fine on my old computer, and now it doesn't even start nor shows an error. But apart from that, newer drivers mostly fix issues from previous drivers plus give performance increases which lets games run smoother. Why shouldn't I want that? :P I simply want to get the best out of my hardware, at any time or moment.

G565 refuses to install latest ATI Drivers :(
