Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7

[mansrm81]

These drivers are an EPIC FAIL for me

I get no installation errors, but I don't get drivers either...

* Express install over the top = FAIL (cat 'installs', no driver)

* Custom Install over the top = FAIL (install manager hangs)

* Remove ATI install manger /CCC and install = FAIL (cat installs', no driver)

* Uninstall through device manager = Annoying FAIL (I no longer
have the option to delete the drivers which may be the issue. Windows is over-riding / blocking the new drivers) :huh:

View attachment 7701

* Manual install through Device Manager = FAIL (I point to the folder with the .inf and Windows says "driver is already up to date")

* Device manager uninstall + Driver Sweepr in Safe mode = FAIL

Overall, Cat 9.4 on Seven x64 = FAIL for me I'm not even going to bother with trying them in Vista

That is just wrong and messed up that you can't do anything with your drivers.

Are you gonna change your name too Driver Breaker now

 

[Airbot]

Might as well change my name to driver breaker too, as I have the same problems.

Nice going ATI...nice one.

 

[smarteyeball]

Instead of driver breaker, how about DRIVER DOMINATOR ?, I got Catalyst 9.4 installed! IN YOUR FACE ATI!

In the end I got it by doing an express install where catalyst installed, but the drivers didn't. Catalyst then informed me it was incompatible with the current drivers.

NEXT:

Device manager > Display adapters > update driver software.

THEN:

Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have disk

Then pointed it to:

C:\ATI\Support\9-4_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF.CH_78303.inf

It installed and one re-boot later it's done with crossfire re-enabled

The small step I missed was the "have disk". I was just pointing to the folder itself. My fault for following a bad direction on the amd forums :sarc:





What a PITA installation that was

 

[mansrm81]

Good job DRIVER DOMINATOR

 

[Airbot]

I'm glad you got it to work SE...I can't even get past the "Install" "Uninstall" window before it crashes. I can't get to the custom or express window.

 

[Airbot]

ahh, cheers..you're right SE. I missed the have disk step too. The only way it works. Real PITA.

Did you even test it once on a machine with Win7 ATI? geez.

 

[smarteyeball]

Good job DRIVER DOMINATOR

lol

You might be better off going straight for the safe mode /driver sweeper root and hope the issue goes away :huh: I wish I could help you here, but I never encountered the errors you did

At any rate maybe you should stick with cat 9.3 - 9.4 has re-introduced the 2nd card stuck at high clock speed and the inability to adjust 2nd card fan speed. It's even ignoring the .xml profile. So near, so fail

 

[Airbot]

Look above.

The ATI External Events Utility Service is now called the AMD External Events Utility

 

[smarteyeball]

lol, cross posting Good to see mate ...Although is that still the 9.3 CCC? :huh: (compare the Catalyst Control Center version number with mine)

I've sorted the fans out(you can now independently adjust each card in ATI overdrive)

Now I'm just stuck with the 2nd card running at full clock at desktop

I was right about these drivers making me work....

saweet! maybe these will help my crash issues!

 

[sandman]

Clean install of 7077 installed 9.4 CCC no problem .

The 9.3 has been working out here well for the 32bit side of things being the first tagged Vista/7 beta over the 9.2 Vista release. For the 64bit side has anything replace the Cat. 9.1 yet? I would imagine seeing the 9.4 out now the 9.2 for 64bit would also be seen.

erm...9.4 has 64 bit also, as does 9.3, etc.

 

[Night Hawk]

I simply had the 9.1 stored for the change of builds seen lately with the 7077 out. I will taking a look at the 9.4 however to see if that's anything like the problems seen a year back with the Cat. 7.9! Even the patch for that was pointless at the time.

 

[Airbot]

well if you read back a little bit in this thread, you'll see me and Smarteyeball, maybe others, had to install 9.4 manually, as there seems to be something wrong with the 9.4 installation package.

 

[Night Hawk]

The old 7.9 was a total wash after you got it on but surprizingly went on fast. Unpacking the drivers into a folder first and updating through the device manager may be a better alternative if the installer is no good.

Until the 9.5 or 9.6 sees this corrected fully the 9.3 would seem to be the better option to avoid the installation problems. So far that has worked out well for the 32bit side there.

The problem seen with the ATI.AMD support site now is no option for previous versions where you can pick and choose. The search for those now sees Search Center - Search

Since anything at this time is stll beta for 7 you can see there that only Vista 32/64bit along with XP 32/64bit are listed at their main support site.

 

[Airbot]

Yeah, I had no problems with 9.3 at all.

 

[smarteyeball]

I think 9.3 might be better overall than 9.4. I haven't noticed much difference tbh, apart from the dodgy installation.

Unlike Sandman, I still had to manually install the drivers after a fresh install
