ATI gpu driver fails to install, says Windows does not support it
First of all, here is my DxDiag: DxDiag.txt
So I purchased a new monitor yesterday (Asus VX238H-W), but I have this black border all around the edges. It is already auto-adjusted so that is not the issue. I am already running 1920x1080 as supposed, so I couldn't figure what was wrong initially. After doing some research about the issue, I found out that you need to change the scaling via. Catalyst Control Center.
Now, my problem is, that my graphics card does not show up in Catalyst Control Center (meaning I don't have the option to scale), and when I try to download the newest driver it says the following:
Packages for install
AMD Display DriverFinal Status: Fail
Version of Item: 8.970.100.7000
Size: 90 MbytesAnd further down in the report it shows why it failed:HDMI Audio DriverFinal Status: Fail
Version of Item: 7.12.0.7708
Size: 1 Mbytes
I honestly don't understand why it says that my Windows version does not support it, because on AMD's homepage there is a driver section for Radeon HD 46xx series for Windows 7 32bit.Error messages
Driver Install: Windows® version does not support this operation
Driver Install: Windows® version does not support this operation
Driver Install: Windows® version does not support this operation
Driver Install: Windows® version does not support this operation
Also to note: When I use AMD's driver detector instead of doing it manually, it says that my driver is already up to date (?).
Here are some of the different things I have tried to do:
1) Install the recommended driver
2) Install the beta driver
3) Install an older driver
4) Run Driver Sweeper, reboot, run it again, search for all files called AMD/ATI and remove them, and then installing the recommended driver. Same problem.
5) Install in safe-mode
6) Install a Vista driver (I got desperate at this point )
7) Install a 64bit driver
And probably other things I can't remember.
It is not specified in the DxDiag as far as I know, but to be more specific my graphics card is a Radeon HD 4650 (Yes it is old as hell, I know).
Any help appreciated!
