    problem with win 7 drivers please help


    I have an extra desktop that i installed win 7 pro 64 bit on. The components of the system are a P5RD1-VM motherboard, Pentium 4 3.0 ghz processor HT, 2 gigs of OCZ ram, and an ATI sapphire 1950 pro 256. The problems that I am having are that it does not recognize the onboard sound, but it does recognize the S/Pdif even though it is not connected. The other problem is the 1950 pro is not recognized in my device manager even when I download and install the newest drivers from Sapphire. The odd thing is when I hook my display up to my motherboard it recognizes the display where as the 1950 pro does not.
    Also, when I download and install the catalyst control center and restart my computer, it is not there.

    Ok lets start with the video card. In device manager it should show up as standard VGA. Download the latest catalyst driver and unpack>stop>go to device manger right click on display adapter.update driver software>browse my computer>let me pick>have disk>browse>navigate to where you downloaded the driver>click or (duouble click) the .inf fle and let it install, if it complains just continue to let it install.Reboot if nexessary. It should now show up in device manager a your card. The only other thing is I'm not sure of your card is one that uses only legacy drivers. http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx Fabe
