ATI Radeon drivers install, but fail to initialize

[himikalka]

Gretteings , fellow Brainiacs !

Im one step from hitting my lap top with something hard , and although it will not fix my problem , it would make me feel better . However , i would restrain my Hatred Vibes towards the machine , cuz i dont have money for another one . OK
So here is the problem :
1. My os is Windows 7
2. I have a Toshiba Satellite l500-13t PSLj3E-018017B3 ( why people wont make their model names shorter ?
and the graphic card ati radeon mobility 4500 HDM-shait
so :
3 . I have downloaded and freshly Installed several hundred versions of ati catalyst drivers , tried to disable windows 7 autamatic driver install , ive eaten google inside-out ( twice) , and spent an entire week wallowing in despair , that some of my games wont stretch when i play them .
3 yrs ago , i had a similar problem with a sony Vaio ( installed Ati centre , clicked on the "stretch everything" box , and miracously everything worked fine )
And now , as i install ATi CAtalYst Suite ( tried versios 9.1 9.2 9.everything upo to 9.5 , tried to download earlier versions , updatet my frame network to 3. something ) and after each install , when i go to the ati technologies folder in my program files folder , i open it - and guess what - there is nothing there ! I would realy like to to find some kind of an exe files that would start catalyst properties so i would be able to change graphic setting s the way they are suppose to , but yet , again , and again i have failed .
I even reinstalled my windows 3 times , and tried to do a fresh catalyst instal , but the result was the same - drivers install , audio driver something installs , but the control centre options(in the installer ) is checked but highlighted in GREY




People i beseech you ! HELP MEEEEE !

SUCCESS!!

No problems at all, just followed your excellent recipe. You just rescued my investment in my card, and I guess this old beast of a Dell has some more life left!!

Download that and overwrite the original with it by copying and pasting over it.

The folder it goes to is C:\ATI\Support\9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\W7_INF

After doing that, right click your card in device manager, choose update driver software. Browse. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse. Go to the above folder and choose the .inf I made for you.

If it complains the driver is not signed, let it install anyway. Reboot and then choose an Aero theme by rt clicking desktop, choose personalize.

Run setup.exe in C:\ATI\Support\9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver
if you want CCC too.

You have to add your card to the .inf by placing a correct line for it in the install .inf. I'll hook it up for ya. All you need to do is go to device manager, right click on card (standard vga), choose properties, details tab. Change the dropdown to hardware ids. It's the next one down. Then tell me what is to the right of dev_ in any line. I need the 4 digit value.

In the meantime, extract the install driver .exe to C:\ATI. I will upload an .inf for you to replace in there. Then you can install manually through the device manager by updating driver and finding the exact .inf.

We will be using the latest Catalyst 9.10 x86 32 bit for this, for Win 7. So download that if you currently are using something different. No hotfix. Normal Catalyst.

I have the same problem...my 4 digit # is 9498 , its a Radeon 4650 HD PCI-E card...

That attachment is "unavailable" , and those linked drivers/file are what i was attempting to install, with no success. However, best I can tell the DRIVER is working OK, its just the catalyst control center that won't load?

Hello torrentg,

I seem to be having the same problem! My card is an nVidia 8800GT (two of them, actually). Does your solution work on these cards as well? I'm using the latest driver for Vista x64 (191.07).

Hi.

No, all you need is the driver straight from this link for GeForce 8 series x64, Windows 7.

I have an ATI HD4600 card and i cant install the catalyst control center.
When i run the setup it closes with a message "the program has encountered an error and needs to close.

I have tried version 9-9 and 9-10 without sucess.
Running Windows 7 32bit professional and the program as administrator.

Any tips?

 

[torrentg]

Use "uninstall or change a program" from Computer (Windows Explorer.) Use Catalyst ATI Install Manager to remove all ATI stuff from the system.

Right click on video card in device manager. Uninstall and tell it to remove the driver too.

Install from latest driver .exe off ATI/AMD website.

I managed to get my Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics card working under windows 7 with my ASUS K8VSE Deluxe motherboard by following torrentg's advice of modifying the drivers .INF file. Many thanks Torrentg. I was pulling my hair out. I downloaded driver "9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu" from The Ultimate Experience for Gaming | GAME.AMD.COM and added the following line to C:\ATI\Support\9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\W7_INF\CL_83742.inf.

"ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP" = ati2mtag_R7X, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9495

The graphics card is working brilliantly with my main display but when hooked up to my HD TV via HDMI the picture is displayed but with a 2-3 inc black border all around the image. Under Windows XP (dual boot setup) the display is full screen. No matter what I do with Catalyst Control Center I cannot get a full screen display on my HD. The resolution is 1920x1080 (60 Hz). If I can get this working I will be really pleased as my 5 year old PC has a far better windows user experience index (4.9) than my parents brand new PC (3.2).

Many thanks for any advice you can give me. In the meantime I'm using Windows XP to drive my TV and am hoping for a driver release that requires no manual modifications.

Thanks

Darren

Quite welcome. Look for an "overscan" adjustable setting in the Catalyst Control Center and/or the tv itself.

 

[Darren Link]

Thanks once again Torrentg.

It took some finding but reducing the underscan from 15% down to 0% solved my problem.

In ATI Catalyst Control Center version 2009.0925.1707.28889 the configure option is missing from the context menu for the large graphics reprsenting your displays. You need to right click on the triangle in the smaller displays in the bottom right hand corner to find the configure option. (Just above the Basic.. button).

Thank you so much for all your help Torrentg. A few days ago I had default VGA graphics and no HDMI output. Now I have everything working and even have HDMI audio working to the TV.

Thanks for replying so quickly. We can now spend the rest of the evening watching a film from Windows 7

Torrentg, I have q question for you. I have been following this thread as I had been having the same problem of not being able ti install the ATI drivers. I have a Sony Vaio Desktop with 2GB and Windows 7 upgrade, and I finally got the machine to install the ATI driver. The driver it installed was the 8.6 version, July, 2009. My question is this; Should I try to install the ATI 9.10 version?

Yes you should, but you've been following the wrong thread.

Hey torrentg

Wonder if you can help
I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 and also HD3200, two GPU's, one is discrete and the other embedded I think

When plugged in the 4570 should be used and the 3200 when on battery as power saving.
Since I installed windows 7 I can't select the high performance GPU.
The CCC doesn't seem to work neither

HARDWARE ID's FOR 4570

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_02371025&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_02371025
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&CC_0300

HARDWARE ID's FOR 3200

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&SUBSYS_02361025&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&SUBSYS_02361025
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&CC_0300

What should I do next.
All I have done so far is try windows update.
The driver update for the 4500 series via windows update always fails

Thanks in advance

Halfway, upload the .inf from the driver package - after compressed to .rar - use the paperclip function at top of a new post.

I'll edit it and tell you how to install, to attempt to get this to work.

Download the desktop version, first. Then extract to C:\ATI
