No Aero Support on ATI mobility radeon 9800

Holy **** I got it to work!!! I had to install one of the modded drivers first then check windows update and it gave me an updated driver that enables aero support!!! Thank you guys so much for all of your help!!!

lol I guess that's one way to do it.

Very glad for you. Enjoy your Win7 experience.

Should this work with the desktop version too?

Im trying this with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (however Win 7 detects it as XT)

Extract to C:\ by running .exe, close after extraction.

Install by using device manager. Right click video card. Update driver software. Browse. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse. Now find the .inf and click on it inside the navigation pane. Hit ok.

ATI Catalyst? Legacy Display Driver

Run setup.exe after to get CCC.
