I've tried installing the windows 7 beta catalyst drivers, tried the vista drivers, all give the same result.

Hi' have you installed the latest drivers from ATI version 9.2

I've tried, it runs through the installer, but only seems to install "Catalyst Install Manager" no drivers are installed that I can see.

Installation Report

try booting into safemode with networking, then download the latest wddm driver, uninstall the current drivers and proceed with install...

where would I get the latest wddm driver? if you mean through windows update, then I have done this, and it crashes on startup.

Sorry i was away for a while, now when you said that it only installed CCC I went into my Device Manager to check what version was installed on my machine, and it said that I had version 8.582.0.0 , I am not sure that it installed on my machine either I am going to check it out ,anyway thinking it was not the latest version I clicked update driver and it went of searching, and it suddenly started installing WWDM driver, so when it finished and told me I had the said driver, I reinstalled the package that I downloaded from ATI today and I am back to this driver 8.582.0.0 so thats where I stand at the moment ,if I find out anything I will get back to you.

Hi, I found out from (Airbot) that I have the latest driver installed, it is 8.582.0.0 and the CCC is 9.2. ,so, it has installed for me four times in a row, on different OP's,so there is nothing wrong with the driver ,stupid thing to say but ,try it again,hope it works for you.

As of Friday.....
ATI Catalyst 9.2 drivers out - Neoseeker News Article

when I installed the catalyst x64 or 32 or another distributons .. not works when i try to start the CCC its not started BUT I SOLVE THAT PROBLEM ^^..

Dowsnload the 32 bit version of the driver ..... go to the system preferences and search for the card .... " update driver " ... select the pro mode and hit the button own disc .. then search for this file : "
C://ATI/Support/9-10_agp-hotfix_vista32_dd_ccc/Packages/Drivers/Display/LH_INF/CL_90196 "

When you find this file " CL_90196 " select it and you may can choose hd2600 series .. then it will install the driver ...

After it just double click on it : " C://ATI/setup.exe " and install it

Well Done
