ATI Mobile Catalyst Not-Installing

Cam Soper said:

Mobility Modder doesn't support the Mobility Radeon HD 4570.

Strangely, Dell's own x64 Vista drivers don't install either. WTF?

Guess I'll just use the drivers built into Windows 7 for now. Sadly, these don't work with my wife's favorite game, Neverwinter Nights, but everything else seems to run fine.

When you say, "use the drivers built into Windows 7", have you ran windows update to see if there are better video drivers (if any are available)?

Windows update did have better drivers for my card than what came with Seven.

Keep eye out on modder site, maybe soon the'll have something for ya.
Good Luck

Thats exactly what I just did OEM, it seemed to work.

I found my device ID and manually put it into the .inf on the regular 9.6 catalyst drivers (not the mobility drivers). I first tried to do it on the drivers named '9-6_beta_win7_64_dd_CC' but when I tried to install them, they said 'These drivers are incompatible for this version of windows' or something.

So I went to the other set of drivers I downloaded named '9-6_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu', which had two versions named 'C7_81756' and 'CH_81756'. I modified both, but the one labeled C7 had the same windows incompatibility error. BUT for some reason, the CH one ran like a charm.

The line I put in was :
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&REV_00

Those Dev/Rev were gotten from the device manager. I just used the at2mtag_M76 since it was the one used by the previous device (mobile radeon hd 3870). It seems to work so idk if it really is the right version or not.

SO drivers installed fine finally, but CCC Still won't install. I click setup, then custom, then it does its Analyze stuff and lists to install : CIM/HDMI Audio/MSEE Encoder or w/e. Doesn't list CCC/Hydravision/Anything else.

Thats Cool, good work.

At least you got the drivers, thats the main thing imo.
Maybe Cam Soper will come back at see that you got the drivers, cause he has the same card I beleive. Can you post a screen shot for others to see what you modified & how? It might help those who have a similar or same setup.

I tried to install using the modder app, but it was a no go. Followed instructions to the tee, and it seemed to install ok, but when it completed, got an error stating a problem with the ati driver. So system restore from the install disk and restored to previous point and so back to where I was. Its not a problem on this lappy, don't use it for games or video editing, really just for regular use like web.

Sure, here are the screens.

The basic problem is Dell's drivers are 'proprietary' and do not support Windows 7. And dell makes ATI not offer driver support, so the devID's are not listed as compatible. Mobility modder basically just does what I did, put in the dev ID's into the .inf's. What I'm not sure of, does mobility modder also change the msi's somehow to make them compatible? Yeah, drivers now install fine and I can select proper resolutions finally. But when I connect to my TV, it still looks bad, needs some changes in the catalyst suite. Which won't install no matter what I do.

Just an FYI...

I've been lurking on these forums looking for answers to this problem and figured I'd come out of hiding. I have pretty much the same setup (Dell Studio 1555) and I, like TenGen, have been having the hardest time getting the ati drivers and the Catalyst Control Center to work.

I'll try this tonight but if anyone can get the CCC working, they'd be my hero because my external 1920x1080 monitor (BenQ e2400HD) looks like crap when connected through HDMI (1920x1080 leaves black bars on top and bottom and all resolutions have really blurry text).

I hope this driver and CCC settings can fix this!

Hi, just refreshing this old thread. Jaydee73 made the day giving solution to the problem in which I ran into just now when bought dell 1470 with HD 4300 and win7 32bit.
By the way now these mobility modder supports 4570 as well. What a stupid policy by Dell, and strange the solution/problem is not so common on the internet!

I'm not there at that laptop to do this but I assume it will work!
