Thanks torrentg,
I am at work right now so I will have to wait till later on to work on the Windows 7 computer at home. I will try a few things and get back to this thread.
I did email Gigabyte tech support for updated drivers so only time will tell.
thanks again,
Rick
Okay,
In my haste I missed teh part where torrentg says to use the straight up, latest and greatest Catalyst driver for this inf fix.
I goofed around last night to no avail with the drivers from Gigabyte and the ATI Hotfix.
My suspicion is that there is something up with the Vista x64 AGP Hotfix and Gigabyte driver that is a no go in Windows 7. My BSOD mentions atikmdag.sys it is possible this is tweaked in the Hotfix and Gigabyte drivers in such a way as to not work in Win 7.
I will try again this evening...and then if I have no success I will begin pleading for help.
It's all in the details I suppose. I will keep you posted.
Rick
x64 will need this workaround to run any of my .inf edits.
SG FAQ :: How to disable driver signing (integrity checks) in Vista 64 / Server 2008 x64 ?
I wonder if this is why the Vista x64 dirvers for AGP don't work in Win 7...since ATI is not offically supporting AGP maybe Win 7 x 64 does not see the Hotfix drivers as "signed"?
@ torrentg.. hi i have a problem with my ATI as well i can't play games on full screen maybe you can help me.. mine is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 Series... 9553 is the last four digits T.I.A already downloaded the latest driver
Works differently with yours because mobility.
Right click adapter in device manager, properties, details tab, change dropdown to hardware ids. Copy and paste all you see there, to a post here.
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_3060103C&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_3060103C
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&CC_0300
hi torrentg thanks for the quick reply here is mine T.I.A
Mercy! Uncle! etc.
Well I give. I have exhausted my limited experience. I will start a new thread replete with minidumps and Hardware Id's tonight if performing an upgrade from a new install of Vista X64 does not work.
Hopefully it works though.
Rick
Sevjr, please see this resource. It will help you install the latest driver ATI offers for desktop models.

Good luck RR. On the plus side, with a great member's help here, I've started reading minidumps much better than I was able to...so...
I hope you won't need much help further and things go well.

I've got the ATI HD4650, I tried to use the files you upped on pages 1 and 2 but they were down. I just really want to get my AGP card working again. Thanks
