Windows 7 drivers for radeon 9250

I think the driver of Radeon 9250 for XP is running under 32 Bit. I've also 64 Bit and the driver isn't work. I want to use a second monitor with vga, if anybody have a useful driver, please post it here

I had a Saphire Radeon 9200 running on Windows 7 basic VGA driver and tried every trick I knew to try and get a higher driver to install and it is just NOT possible. Anyone who says so is not being truthful and is winding people up. There was never a Vista driver for this card and it is much too weak for Vista and 7. Works great in XP 32 bit and that is all.

i have a sapphire radeon 9250 and am looking to install the 32bit win7. will the driver posted above by Zidane24 work?

Don't worry about the ads...it is my pleasure

tks

I had the Radeon 9250 and the Aero feature worked in Windows 8.

As far as I remember Windows 7 did not work no matter what. A year later (today) this remains the same.

What a star, 1st class

I have successfully installed the Radeon 9250 drivers on Windows 7 32bit. This is how I did it:

BACKGROUND:

I have an old Dell Dimension 3000 with a crappy on-board Intel graphics card. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I also installed a Saphire Radeon 9250 card. By default, Windows 7 identified the Radeon 9250 card as a generic/unknown graphics controller.

INSTALLATION:

[1] Use Windows Update to confirm you have the most recent video drivers distributed by Microsoft: C:\Windows\System32\wuapp.exe
[2] Download the official Radeon 9250 drivers for Windows XP 32bit, from the AMD site: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/archive/radeon-prer300-xp
[3] Install the Radeon Catalyst driver package. It will fail. Take note of where the driver installation files were decompressed to.
[4] Open the Device Manager C:\Windows\System32\devmgmt.msc
[5] Select 'Display Adapters' and locate the unknown graphics controller. Right click on the graphics controller, and select 'Update Driver Software'.
[6] Choose 'Browse My Computer for Driver Software' then navigate to where the Radeon Catalyst drivers were decompressed; typically: C:\ATI\Support
[7] Windows will now discover and install the 9250 Radeon drivers from within the Radeon Catalyst package

RESULTS:

Windows 7 will now recognize the Radeon 9250 drivers, as can be seen in the attached screen capture. Areo effects do not seem to function (in contrast to having a non-functioning video card, this seems of minor consequence).

It should be noted that this has only been successful under the 32bit OS.

Congratulations to member seanriddolls, for coming up with the Radeon 9250 work around. It was a problem I've been dealing with all day. I've been trying to update an old XP computer, with a Radeon 9250 AGP video card, to Windows 7 32-bit. I followed his instructions and it worked like a charm. Thanks mate!
