ATI Radeon xpress 1100 driver for 7 32-bit

[Elysium]

I have searched high and low for this and still can't find it. Don't suppose any of you guys have it? I tried the catalyst but still no dice, last driver for it is on vista, doesn't go onto 7.

Please help.

Try Catalyst 9.2 for Vista 32. Catalyst 9.3 is the last to support Radeon Xpress, but it didn't work for me, 9.2 did. Now I have Catalyst 9.2 for Vista x64 on Win 7 x64.

Exactly the same here:

only catalyst 9.2 works on win7 x64, 9.3 cannot be installed. Maybe i should buy nvidia next time.

Well, I have this graphics card in one of my laptops, and I got drivers from Windows Update, couldn't find any other working ones.

I have PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5975&SUBSYS_010F1025 which is xpress 1100 in acer 5050 series. As I said only catalyst 9.2 works for me and windows update cannot find anything for this model.

I definitely works with win7 x64, but ATi should do a better job with the drivers.

The catalyst 9.2 doasn`t work for me. Can you help me?

try the latest 9.8_legacy. if it doesn't work either, then find the xxxxx.ini file and edit the pci-id so that it can install.
This doesn't guarantee you that it'll work, only that it'll install. try it.

try the latest 9.8_legacy.

Where is this to be found?? The last "legacy" I was aware of was 9.3.1. Everything since then is for the newer, non-legacy cards.

Update: I found the link on the pinned post in the Graphics Cards subforum and downloaded the Catalyst 9.8 drivers -- but I am sad to report, that at least on my machine, these are the same drivers as came out with version 9.3.1. The CCC info section reports EXACTLY THE SAME version information, even to the point of saying it's Catalyst version 9.3! And before anyone asks, yes -- I tried both an upgrade and clean install, and got the same results both times.

I recommended this driver to someone in another thread, try it out on your computer and see what happens.

Drivers and Downloads

hier is the link to the ati site: ATI Catalyst™ Legacy Display Driver
or just use motherboard/integrated->vista x64 -> express 1100 on the ati site.

In my case it still shows the old version of ccc but the "latest" 8.593.100.0 driver (which came with 9.8_legacy).

You can try to modify the pci-id (the full string) in the ini file in order to make it work. This package is supposed to support all legacy drivers and works for me on win7 x64.

I own the same acer 5050 with xpress 1100. Only catalist 8.12 worked here.

In my case it still shows the old version of ccc but the "latest" 8.593.100.0 driver (which came with 9.8_legacy).

According to my system, v8.593.100 was the same driver version in legacy v9.3. So, from what I can see, the "new" 9.8 drivers are no different than the "old" 9.3 drivers.

By the way, the person who asked the original question asked it over a month, two months ago.

Well that's Acer: One name with different "parts".

In my case (aspire 5051 LY.xxxxxx with tk-36 (tl-60 now)) 9.2 x64 was the only one that worked. 9.3 x64 and 9.3.1 x64 couldn't even install.

So 9.8_legacy x64 is "new" for me. I haven't tried the x86 versions on this one but have another 5051 (the older LX.xxxxxx) which works fine with 9.3.1 x86 on XP.

My only advice is to adjust the .ini files for the installation. These are binary files and nothing else can be done. In the worst case you can try the ini file from the driver packages from the acer ftp server. Just modify it and put it with the latest 9.8_legacy. If it still doesn't work then post in the ati forum (and don't expect an answer ).

By the way, you know that there are TWO 9.8 packages: one 9.8_legacy that supports all old cards and the latest 9.8 that works with the rest. So don't be confused by these.

@ zen00
And why don't you answer when you first saw the post? it's easy to make useless comments ...

 

[Zen00]

Pepe, I'll assume you're asking me why I didn't answer two months ago when this posting first went live?

The answer is, I wasn't on this forum then.

Beyond that, I just noticed the whole fact that it was two months old thingy.

Thanks for the hint, legacy 9.8 (x64) does install here without a problem. 9.2 (9.3 didn't work) crashed sometimes playing flash videos in firefox (watchdog did work and restarted the driver a few seconds after crashing).

@Zen00:

You are right, but the first person is not the only one who is interested in this topic, as you can see.
