Solved ATI Catalyst Download Stops at 32 MB

[GianniDPC]

Was not prompted to reboot, but did it immediately after successful installation, version is 8.722.0.0, the same it was before, or is it actually the latest version, and 11.11 update meant only to update those AMD control utilities?

How can it be checked if it is the latest version available or not?

Ok to check if everything is installed do you have the AMD Catalyst Control Center if you right-click your desktop ?

Yes, I had AMD Catalyst Control Center, before and now instead of it, it is AMD Vision Engine Control centre which seems to have the same functionality.

Ok if you go to AMD Vision Engine Control centre and check the version what does it say ?

When run AMD Vision Engine Control centre, have the Information part below, click on it shows Information product, this has two options hardware and software, the hardware option would show adater frequencies etc.., software part shows:
2D driver version: 8.01.01.1016
Direct 3D version: 8.14.10.0743
OpenGL version: 6.14.10.9752
is this I had to check, and does the info above show the driver was updated?

Doesn't it show the AMD Vision Engine Control version ?
I Also have a ATI video card but I have the AMD Catalyst Control center and if I click help on the control center than I can view the version (mine is version 2010 because I have an old pc video card is released in 2004)

It shows Driver Package Version: 8.722-10033a-098658C-Asus
did you mean this?

Sorry Ok, there is also AMD Vision Engine Control version: 2011.1025.2231.38573
but I am more concerned about driver update rather than AMD control software update

 

[GianniDPC]

It shows Driver Package Version: 8.722-10033a-098658C-Asus
did you mean this?

Sorry but no I know it's diferrent but mine is located here:

(version 2010 yours should say (version 2011)
So go to the control center and click 'help' and then 'info'

 

[alberttm]

OK, it shows the same: 2011.1025.2231.38573
but does this mean I have the latest adapter drivers installed as well?

Does driver update has anything to do with NET.framework, as I noticed it is written that AMD Engine Control is based on NET.Framework, do I need to update the NET.framework as well, if you remember I told you I couldn't completely update my Windows recently and one of two remaining updates was NET.framework update

Maybe I was right maybe that just installed the Catalyst Center
I suggest you still try to install the driver from the first tab like I said
And yah maybe install Net Framework 4 but that doesn't have anything to do with the driver version

 

[alberttm]

You may be right, but that first tab would give me utility to dowload this file: 11-11_mobility_vista_win7_32-64_ccc.exe, which i have already downloaded from individual download part, and during custom installation display drivers was among options to install with AMD Vision Engine Control Centre and some others, I checked to install all, don't think first tab will be different, but if you say you 100% sure it will, and know something I don't know please tell.

Just don't want to redownload the same thing, and the speed has dropped down dramatically now

The one from the first tab is only 1.2 MB so just try it and install it and report it back

 

[alberttm]

Well the problem with that 1.2MB was that after download and run mobilitycatalyst.exe, it stucks with 30MB downloaded, I still believe the driver package was updated as Driver Package version shows 8.722, but don't know why it won't show in device manager driver version.

OK, anyway now I have a better Control centre at least )))
Have to go, now. Thank you all, this seems to be the greatest forum, as many problems are solved here, with lots of information.

Ok if everything works fine than this is not a problem

 

[alberttm]

OK, the man was right, individual download downloads 11_mobility_vista_win7_32-64_ccc.exe, and utility downloads 11_mobility_vista_win7_32-64_dd_ccc.exe, couldn't see the difference at first, the two "dd" supposed to mean display drivers and there is also difference in file size as well first is 87MB second is 98MB the ten MB differnce must be those "dd"s. So I have only downloaded the software update, not the drivers themselves, anybody knows where to get those 10MB drivers, utility won't dowload it, gives download success at 32MB, whereas the file size is 98MB.

GianniDPC, man you had to tell this, but you prefer wait and watch what happens like an old wise indian )))))

But the most amazing thing is that AMD won't put that 11_mobility_vista_win7_32-64_dd_ccc.exe file for manual download as well, wonder why not?

after running the ATIMCDnld nothing happens, windows ask permission to make changes, clicked on YES, nothing happens then ))

 

[Corazon]

That is a good question, why aren't they making the display drivers available separately?

But I gather that you've been using a download manager of some kind, could you try completely disabling it and just running the 1.2MB utility to see if it'll fetch the whole 98MB this time?

Yes, maybe the server was down

 

[alberttm]

OK, guys, whatever, I just googled 11 11 ATI catalyst mobility drivers, and have downloaded a file, 98.5 MB the same size with "dd" letters, when unpacked the difference was that it had "Drivers" folder in Package, the only difference is the file name won't have "mobility" on it, tried to download another file supposed to have all the drivers inside, for 32 and 64 bit versions, size was 164MB, downloaded the 85%, and the f.... file hosting won't give it. Anyway I run the 98MB file, it would do the same installation as before, and probably added the HDMI audio drivers, I suppose the update is actually means update of those audio drivers not the display drivers, and probably the current version of my drivers is the latest. But if anyone can tell where I can download this file "11_11_mobility_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl.exe" please let know. Well I found every version of this, but one time it is mobility missing, another it is 32 bit, another had no dd, ocl etc..... This really has eaten my head, just wonder how is this possible to find everything, but not exactly what you need.
11_11_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl.exe now I have this file, but not one with mobility word on it )))) getting crazy

 

[Corazon]

I found it.

Since AMD's website is useless in this case, I started looking for alternate download sources. There's a forum that makes them available here: ATi Catalyst Mobility 11.11 display drivers for notebook computers (15/11/2011)

Download links are provided here (as linked to in the above post on the external forum): Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Let me know if this works
