Windows 7: HD 2600 Pro AGP

i cant find a driver thats gives me good performance playing Second Live, earlier on Vista with 8.5 from ati it would run up to 70 fps, now on Windows 7 with vista x86 ati latest driver it runs 20 fps.

Im on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 with HD 2600 Pro Agp

anything that might help me get better performance?

im gonna try

- 9-6_agp-hotfix_vista64_dd_ccc
- Catalyst_9.7_RC3_Drivers_for_Vista-Win7_x86-x64
- 9.7 (8.630) Vista/Windows 7 WHQL


I been looking for the ATI cleaner, deleted mine BIG mistake, cant find it anywhere

With the default Microsoft Corporation WDDM 1.1 i made a performance test only for graphics

Now i installed 9.7 (8.630) Vista/Windows 7 WHQL

Screen flicked

Driver installed fine

As soon as screen go black to switch drivers, screen gets messed up UNREADABLE

CCC stops working, unable to report error

and i get the old vista notice '' the driver has stopped working and sucefully recovered''

I checked Device manager to check current driver installed, and its still the microsoft Corporation WDDM 1.1

but YET im gonna run the performance test once again

OK im done cleanning up the latest installed driver, back to WDDM 1.1 again

the other 2 drivers metioned on the first post had the same error as the one installed with errors, so i wont bother doing a performance test, im gonna go back look for a solution

found and downloaded another Driver

9-6_vista64_win7_64_dd
Trying to install this driver , on the installer gave me a notice saying '' all drivers are up to date'' only giving me option to intall ccc and microsoft visual c ++

Trying another driver

Ati DIsplay Driver 8.501.0.000
ccc 2008.0602.2243.38732

Installed, no errors, CCC working fine

Windows seems to run smoother

kinda bored so im gonna stop looking for today



the game fps turned to 27 with 8.5 then with WDDM 1.1

if this game run with 27 im pretty sure everything else will run just fine


ill do some tests later tonight

when I installed the catalyst x64 or 32 or another distributons .. not works when i try to start the CCC its not started BUT I SOLVE THAT PROBLEM ^^..

Dowsnload the 32 bit version of the driver ..... go to the system preferences and search for the card .... " update driver " ... select the pro mode and hit the button own disc .. then search for this file : "
C://ATI/Support/9-10_agp-hotfix_vista32_dd_ccc/Packages/Drivers/Display/LH_INF/CL_90196 "

When you find this file " CL_90196 " select it and you may can choose hd2600 series .. then it will install the driver ...

After it just double click on it : " C://ATI/setup.exe " and install it

Well Done
