HD 4650 not detected after Windows reinstall

Alright, Download Driver Sweeper.

Uninstall all the GPU drivers from the PC. After uninstalling, run Driver Sweeper to clean the leftovers of any old driver. Shut down the PC. Wait for some time (10-15 mins. So that there is no static left). Take out the GPU and reseat it properly. Turn on the PC. Make sure the fan on GPU is running.

Boot into Windows. Install the drivers now. Normally simply click on 13-9-legacy_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_whql and run the setup.

Okay I did exactly that, step by step.
Now during the last setup i get this:


Also I know my graphics card is working, because my motherboard does not have a onboard VGA chip, so the problem lies with updating this graphics card driver...

Application Install: install package failure!

Hey Archer,

First of all thanks for the support, however after following those steps, it still isnt working.

The problem lies with updating the graphics card driver.
When I select the .INF file in the C:/ATI directory I get either one of these two screens:



So it still does nothing I dont know where the problem lies. Could it be the Windows 7 64bit I have? Or is the driver too new maybe, because the hardware is somewhat old now.

I installed the AMD 13.9 driver and I have an AMD 4290 chipset -- so I would think the situation would be the same with your 4650. I used the standard installer and it did not appear to work, so I used the installation method utilizing the INF directory -- and it did work.

However ... my drivers are not under C:/ATI; instead, they are under C:/AMD/Support/13-9-legacy_vista_win7_32_dd_ccc/Packages/Drivers/Display/W7_INF/

I would think yours would be the same expcept that "win7_32" would be "win7_64".

Heya, thanks for the reply,

Yeah, what I meant was C:/AMD, my .INF files are in the same location,
also there appear to be 2 .INF files there: CH158498.INF and C7158498.INF
whats the difference between those 2?

So I noticed 2 installer files, next to the 2 .INF files.

I first tried the CH15849, but that one was not compatible, so it said.
Then I tried the C7158498, which did install something, I driver I would think.
Only after the "succesful" install, nothing happened or changed...

Could it have something to do with the motherboard chipset? How do I update that?

After many hours of searching I finally found a driver that actually works!
I noticed that with all previous drivers Catalyst Control Center didnt install, it was nowhere to be found, which was strange.

But I found this older hotfix driver:
10-2_agp-hotfix_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe
which actually installed CCC for the first time, and after that it changed the 'Standard VGA Adapter' to 'Radeon HD 4600 series' .

So I think I'll just use this older driver for now, as it seems to be working.
