Radeon HD 4500 "This device cannot start (Code 10)"

Hi all, I beleive this is an error with all Acer 7535G laptops, and was wondering if there is a fix. This is the error I get; http://i48.tinypic.com/9thbmq.jpg "This device cannot start (Code 10)".

I uninstalled and reinstalled, which didn't work. I tried a fix which worked for 4550 models, which was to uninstall, go into Safe Mode and delete the drivers, then reboot and they'll automatically re-install, which they did, but the error was still there.

Is there an fix out there whatsoever? I understand the 3200 Series is supposed to work without the laptop being plugged in, and when it is plugged in, it should switch to the 4500 Series.

Btw, I'm running 64Bit W7 Ultimate.

Thanks.

Honest bump .

I FOUND A SOLUTION!

It's a bit complicated but just follow the instructions:

I don't quite know why it has worked this time as I have tried this previously as suggested on this forum (may be using I'm using a different driver this time though?) but I now have my 4750 gpu working on Win 7 64!

I was inspired by 'dam89' at the following forum to retry using Mobility Moder to 'mod' a gpu driver (ATI HD 3200 & HD 4570 in laptop not working - Windows 7 Forums)

I downloaded Mobility Moder (http://www.radeon.ru/downloads/modto...otNETSetup.exe) and also the the 'Windows 7 64 Bit Edition - Radeon - Radeon HD 4550 driver' from the ATI site (Graphics Drivers & Software).

I then unistalled all ATI software via control panel and to ensure all evidence of it was gone I ran drive sweeper (Guru3D - Driver Sweeper) to delete any thing left.

After a restart I double clicked on the downloaded driver so it extracted to C:\ATI\Support and cancelled it before it installed.

I then installed and ran Mobility Modder and using 'browse' located the driver folder within C:\ATI\Support\.... I ensured Disable UAC box was ticked and then clicked Modify. This modifed the driver.

Once done I disabled the 3200 gpu via Device Manager and then ran the setup file in the modified driver folder (c:\ATI\Support\[Driver Folder Name]\Setup.exe) MAKE SURE YOU DO CUSTOM INSTALL NOT QUICK INSTALL.

Once this had installed I was prompted to reboot and once restarted I checked device manager and both the 3200 gpu and the 4570 gpu (it shows as ATI MOBILITY RADEON 4530/4570) are running OK (NO 'CODE 10' & NO '!') :)

After this, go to device manager and disable the 3200 graphics card. You will now be using the 4570 :)

Awesome, all fixed! Thanks a lot, much appreciated.
