I never quite got it to work right and then (unrelatedly) my machine died. Oh well. But glad Crunchy was able to help m1000!
I have an 200M too and can't get it work properly since I introduce my MSI S420 notebook to Win 7. I can't update my driver manually nor online, actually there's no display adapter shown in Device Manager!! But there's an item with a yellow exclamation mark at System Devices category, it's title is "PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge" as I know Radeon 200M works on PCI so I doubt that this is my display adapter but it has some sort of problem I think. I added a screen shot of Device Manager. I hope you guys help me to find a solution and I won't have to go back to XP.
I have an R51e that has an Intel motherboard and an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m. I've got 7100RC installed on it and let Windows auto-detect the drivers I needed.
I did the system interface, hotkeys, and power management on my own however.
Well. I'm wondering if there is an alternate driver available for my 200m? I know that ATI isn't supporting legacy cards for Windows 7 from what I can see.
Any ideas guys? TIA.
Edit:
My system specs show an R52. I use that for travel and have the R51e sitting on a desk at home. Just adding to not cause any confusion.
Hi Guys
I have read all the posts regarding the xpress 200m and how you guys fixed the issues but I do not seem to find a solution for my problems
I have a old Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1720 with a Radeon Xpress 200m graphics card It is running Windows 7 Build 7100 that I downloaded from Microsoft
When I look at the Display name it says Generic PnP monitor on Radeon Xpress 200M series
and if I look at the driver it says driver supplied by ATI Tech
OK now my problem is that I only get a 1.0 rating on the windows experiance Index and under the graphics heading it says graphics memory not detected
with the first beta version I did not have this problem
If there is anyone that has a solution please let me know
Thanks
Pieter

ATI did recently "update" their legacy drivers from Catalyst 9.3.1 to Catalyst 9.8., however, in looking through that info, I don't see anything older than the Xpress 300. So, their just might not be a driver for the Xpress 200.
And even if there is one, it's likely to be an XP driver which, while you will probably be able to load in in Compatibility mode, is likely to NOT provide AERO support of any kind. So, your WEI scores are not likely to improve much.
I'm running a tablet PC with an Intel 914 chipset, with XP drivers installed, and I get very low WEI scores -- and that's using the latest drivers friom Microsoft Update Catalog.
Like I said before that on a previous install I did there was no problem
So I was just wondering if I am doing anything wrong or if someone knows of a shortcut to get past this
