Windows 7: Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7

9/22/2009


source..

Looking for some assistance.
I've a clean installation of Windows 7 Enterprise running on an Compaq 8510p with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 with default driver 8.632.1.2000 dtd 17Aug09.
I downloaded the beta Windows 7 driver but when I attempt to run the setup I get as far as the Select Installation Operation>Install screen then "Catalyst Install Manager has stopped working" close the program.
This is highly frustrating. Both my monitors work fine but the screensaver nor the monitor power off settings work.
Any help is much appreciated.

ATI Catalyst 9.10 beta -

download from Guru3D.com

For laptop users Gateway/Acer posted 8.652, these are newer then Catalyst 9.9 which were 8.651.

ATI M92LP Video Driver Version 8.652

but it doesnt support my radeon 7500

Hate to say it but your 7500 is a lost cause, there will never be a driver update for it for Windows 7. All things considering I am surprised you managed to get it to work with 7 in the first place.

Thank you very much for this post. I was not aware that AMD was even going to bother updating the 9.3.1 legacy drivers anymore.

Update: Apparently, their original notes in the legacy 9.3.1 drivers about NOT providing any future upgrades turns out to be true! I downloaded the Catalyst 9.8 drivers -- but I am sad to report, that at least on my machine, these are the same drivers as came out with version 9.3.1. The CCC info section reports EXACTLY THE SAME version information, even to the point of saying it's Catalyst version 9.3! And before anyone asks, yes -- I tried both an upgrade and clean install, and got the same results both times.

I got a quick question, unfortunately I am pressed for time so I am unable to check through the entire thread if this was answered. If I get a 3rd party ATI card, like from Visiontek for example, should I download Catalyst from their site, or can I download it directly from ATI?

Download it directly from AMD.com, which bought ATI. You don't need to go to Visonteks site to download it.
