ATI Catalyst? Legacy Display Driver

Extract the installer to C:\ATI then close it.

Right click on video card. Update driver software. Browse. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse. Find the .inf. Double click on it. Hit ok.

If it doesn't work, .rar the .inf and attach the .rar to a post. Also then, right click card, properties. Details tab. Change dropdown to hardware ids. Copy and paste results here. No screenshot as alternative.

I had the Sapphire 3650 running perfectly on my old test PC perfectly with the Windows 7 Beta and RC. When I installed the retail version of Win 7, I decided to download the latest Drivers from Sapphire. After I installed the new drivers nothing happened. I tried it over and over. Finally I googled driver problems for the 3650 and found this post. I was sceptical at first, but I followed your instructions in this post. Yeeehaah! It worked first time. torrentg is truly awesome. I had to download Winrar to extract the files. I didn't even know what that was for before this. Too bad Sapphire can'nt clean up their drivers on their own. There is no need of that. Thanks Again.

Thanks mate.. I will download win7 and install it and try to what you told me and then will report back.. Is it ok if I sent you PM ?

Sure, if you need to. If you follow what I said, it won't be necessary though. Possibly an edit in the .inf may be needed. That's all.

Hello! This is my first post here... I just installed Windows 7, and i am having trouble with my display driver. I have installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, and i have a HIS Radeon HD3850 512mb AGP card. I have tried to download the driver from ATI/AMD and from HIS, but no luck. The driver from ATI/AMD don't even get installed as promised, and the driver from HIS installs, but i get an error saying that "the driver wasent installed, this driver is not for this operating system" or something like that.
Can you help me?


Edit: I think we have the same card, mister torrentg!

Hi and welcome.

Since you installed x64, you will need to find a way to permanently disable driver enforcement or use f8 when starting the machine to disable.

Attach the .inf from the driver install after your extract from it, to a post using the paperclip. You'll have to use Winrar on it first. It will be in C:\ATI somewhere. So...attach the .rar file.

I'll edit it and then you can download my version to replace yours. (Replace and overwrite, while copying.)


Awesome about same card. It performs like crazy especially when overclocked!

Okey, i think i rared the right file.
Thanks so much for helping... Was on my way to re-install windows xp! :)

Do as I said above. Then you can follow my first post in the thread on how to install from it. Good luck and enjoy!

Strange... When i loaded the driver, and rebooted, my computer wouldent start. So i had to restore to a earlier point. Could it be that i need to use the CH_83743.inf driver, and not the C7_83743.inf driver?
Many thanks! :)
