NEW! Today WinVista x32 Catalyst 7.1 (FINAL)

OK everyone who's got ATI ....!! Finally. I havent installed these yet, but am going to do it as soon as I am finished my photoshop work today.

I checked the INTEGRATED/MOTHERBOARD link for vista x32 and it sends you to the same as below... no other drivers for the chipset but the graphics... but then again, there isnt much need for more since vista is supporting xpress chipsets very well already. OK HAVE FUN!

Fix!

ok, i attempted to mix "everything else" from the vista drivers on acer's euro ftp released 2 days ago, with the new drivers released today, in an attempt to get it all working with the acer aspire 5102.

no luck. the ccc is not working right yet anyhow, STILL no overlay, and theater mode.

however, here are some detailed instructions on how to get the latest drivers installed:

1) download 7-1_vista32_dd_ccc_enu_41241.exe

- http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/v...n-vista32.html
- note: this version has no GART or CHIPSET drivers

2) run it

- CLICK RUN on security warning
- CLICK INSTALL bottom right (this extracts the files)
- be patient while the warning window shows, it will go away automatically
- now u are in the "select installation operation" window - CLICK CANCEL
- when it asks to quit installation manager, CLICK YES

3) replace the .inf file

- navigate to C:\\ATI\\SUPPORT\\7-1_vista32_dd_ccc_41241_enu\\Packages\\Drivers\\Display\\LH_INF
- replace the CL_41241.inf with the updated .inf version for xpress 1100 (see attachment)
- make sure the path above is on your clipboard (!)
- close the explorer window

4) use device manager & update your drivers

- RIGHT CLICK the COMPUTER icon on the desktop and select MANAGE
- CLICK "DEVICE MANAGER" in the computer management tree on the left
- CLICK the + sign on display adapters
- RIGHT CLICK whichever adapter is listed there (probably 200M) and select UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE
- BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE
- LET ME PICK FROM A LIST...
- CLICK the "HAVE DISK" button
- PASTE C:\\ATI\\SUPPORT\\7-1_vista32_dd_ccc_41241_enu\\Packages\\Drivers\\Display\\LH_INF
- CLICK OK
- it will show "ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 (v8.333.0.0 - Jan29-07)", select it and click NEXT
- windows security will tell you it cant verify the publisher
- CLICK the INSTALL THIS DRIVER ANYWAY

5) BE PATIENT while it blanks your screen, etc.

- once aero glass is showing, ur done.

6) dont install the CCC, it wont work yet (im working on it)

absolutely. i may have time to tackle the CCC problem sometime today. ill update when i have a break from work

well the ccc in that version is not the same as that of the 7.1 final... and it depends if you want v8.32etc beta with no opengl... or the final v8.33etc (not sure if opengl works, but i believe it does. ill have to try it) for me, i always want the latest final driver, if itll work. but then again, i wont be happy until theater mode with overlay for my projector works in vista. hehee
