I made my own pc, using a ASUS P5N-D MoBo; Intel 775 3.2 ; 3 GB DDR2 Ram memory -3x 1 Gb (2x 800mhz, 1x 553mhz); ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3; LC-Power LC6480S Scorpio-480W PSU FULLY Modular, I have Windows Ultimate x86 currently installed on my WD HDD 40 Gb ( i use that drive only for the system!)
The problem is when i try to launch Need For Speed The Run... When i run it an error appears. It says that my current graphics card driver is 11.2; and i have to upgrade it to 11.7 before playing the game.
Ok.
I've downloaded AMD catalyst 11.7 but after installation it says that windows doesn't support tis operation... I've installed AMD catalyst 12.8 and the same problem comes up again... I've tried to do the next thing :
What should i do in order to install the missing driver???

I am 100% sure it works because i have seen it on youtube several times... Not on the Max settings, but it will work. BTW i am playing Test Drive Unlimited 2 on the max settings, and the card is working at 80-85%. Battlefield 3 also works good too.
I don't know should i install the game again??? Anyway i will install it again, but i will also try to install direct x 11 again.
Thanks, i will post the results soon
Re-installed Need For Speed The Run, but the same problem appears again! I have DirectX11 installed.... My graphics card driver is from 1/26/2011. When i check for an update it says that the driver up to date, and Windows won't take no action
Can anyone help?

yes, AMD catalyst 11.7 but an error comes out as i mentioned in the first post. Same happens for AMD Catalyst 12.8. Here is the print screen preview of the error and the after installation window.

try to run Need For Speed The Run with administrator privileges (right click on the icon ---> run as administrator). If this doesn't work, run it in Windows XP compatibility mode (SP2 or SP3)
I've tried to run the game as an administrator but nothing happens... How to run it in compatibility mode for windows XP sp2 or 3??? I don't know how to do it!

Compatibility mode doesn't work neither. I made a print screen preview of the application opening in compatibility mode for Windows XP sp2, sp3, and vista sp2... seems that the driver is the problem...

It seems like your having a driver problem. Remove the driver using device manager, reboot your computer and download the latest driver from amd here AMD Driver Autodetect
Before anything, I would like to thank you all guys for helping me out!
First i launched the game. Then a saw that the driver is out of date. After that i went to amd.com and downloaded AMD Catalyst 11.7, that was the minimum needed. When i installed it, nothing changed. Tried the same with AMD Catalyst 12.8, but nothing changed, same problem... Downloaded AMD Driver autodetect, the program detected AMD Catalyst 12.10 as best for my GPU. THE SAM ERROR APPEARS WITH ANY AMD CATALYST PACK!
So yes, in fact, i did install the newer version over the old one...

Yea, i understand what you mean, but I was thinking... If I uninstall the driver, and restart the computer, then run the AMD Driver autodetect, it will start downloading the "best" driver for my card... That will take about 10min, but windows will automaticly download the same driver (that i had previously uninstalled), before the AMD Catalyst driver is installed ... Then i get to the same point, and i am installing a new driver over the old one... Am I correct??? I think it won't work... But if you say that it may work I'll try it, and see what happens

Search up the Web regarding complete driver removal. Also avoid any auto detect stuff for everything. Your safest bet with this would be to go full manual from downloading to installation. I have bad this before and that fixed it for me although I didn't use auto detect but updated drivers over existing one. That was a 4850 card. Else search up nfs issues like the one you have. Probably a configuration thing. My 4850 worked nicely after a full sweep and a clean installation

Unless you're set up for dedicated phys x then yes you should remove them. If you have an on board graphics component set your pcie as main in your bios. I may be wrong on this part since I've always been amd/ati user with one exception 2 gens ago with a dedicated phys x, and a 4850 but I think the optimized for sli or xfire is just branding and if it isn't just branding it shouldn't matter on a single card solution. Anyhow you should do a complete removal for it including registry entries and files in parts of your drive that remains after uninstalling. Do it manually instead of using a tool. Remove both drivers amd and nvidia and fresh install amd. If one of the installed nvidia progs is labelled phys x u won't have to worry about it. But best be safe and try out amd ccc without any other gpu drivers / tools to avoid conflicts

After uninstalling the Nvidia Drivers, all i lost was the internet connection :sarc:
I uninstalled all drivers for my GPU, and then downloaded AMD Catalyst 12.10. installed it and this are the results. (1st image)
After that i ran Need For Speed and it says2nd image)
I uninstalled AMD 12.10 and installed AMD 11.7. Then, this is the result of instalation: (3rd image)...
The Aero in Windows didn't appear... And there is the lag when i drag a folder over my desktop...
The final result is the same as before. It doesn't work... :huh:
I currently don't have any driver installed for my GPU...
