ATI Radeon X1650 Pro Driver Problem
Hi all
I'm struggling with a customer's computer. He has an ATI Radeon X1650 Pro PCI-Express card, and just upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium from XP.
So here's the problem. Windows 7 installation failed (hanged with a blank screen) with the card installed, but completed when I used integrated graphics. Afterward I installed the card, booted into Windows, and it installed its own drivers. After this I can't boot into Windows anymore (though I can boot into safe mode). Smells like a driver issue to me.
I checked all the other threads on this forum, and I found that ATI haven't released drivers for this card for Win7. So I downloaded the last Vista drivers with support, but it doesn't install the driver. The installation completes successfully, but I can't manage to find a way to get Win7 to replace its own driver with the (older) ATI driver.
I also tried Windows Update, as well as manually accessing the Windows Update Catalog. Nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
