ATI Video driver problem  

winstainforth said:

I've installed the lastest leaked version of windows and am having problems with the video drivers.

I'm running a 3 year old Asus laptop, W3000 series and can't get the screen res above 1024x768, I've tried lastest ATI vista drivers and the ATI windows 7 pre-release driver without luck.

Will have to put vista!! back if I can't get this sorted.

It runs very quick now.

Thanks

hey Cncmasterw,

did you mean at point 5 and 6 that you embedded the drivers on the install disk?
Or is it only the selection you get in the end of the installation about recommended updates (the one with 2 green options and one red). Or else?

if you embedded it, then which drivers (drivers for xp?) did you put where (which cd folder).

thank you in advance

ATI Launches Windows Seven Drivers. . .

ATI has launched their preview edition of the Windows Seven driver. This should get people started with the initial testing in W7. Time for me to download this and run home and update my system and check . . . . I got Windows Seven put on a spare partition and am now testing a couple of things in it. As usual the initial stages are buggy. Nero won’t work, Ulead Video Studio Crashes, Network drivers go bust on every reboot, McAfee has a problems and I have audio glitches and a couple of desktop effects keep going bonkers. I am guessing that the last one is more of a graphics driver issue (hoping rather) and this preview driver should tell me if it is. . . .
nVidia users on the other side . . . . (Bleh! Tough luck kids. . . ) Apart from a really long and boring post going blah blah blah about Win H.E.C. ‘08 I don’t see a driver anywhere . . . .

hi yogi365,

I'm glad that ati already has some drivers. Unfortunately I have a Xpress 200M, and none of that are listed.

anyway I just tried yesterday (without looking for the list) and there is still a 'standard VGA Graphics Adapter'
