Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7

[whsaxman]

I wouldn't think so. If you can remember one thing that would help is if you were using the Vista driver previously, or managed to find something newer. In most cases the Vista driver should work just fine, but not too sure about TV tuners.

A couple of quick questions,

1. Did you uninstall the Cat 10.10 before installing the Vista driver? if not that could be the problem. I would start with uninstalling everything, then install the tuner driver and see how things work. If it works OK, then update the video driver using the 10.10 and test again.

2. If you did uninstall first, I don't usually recommend it but for something like this seeing as there isn't an actual Windows 7 driver available, check Windows Update after installing the Vista driver and see if it offers something newer.

For the answers,
1. Yes I did install10.10 first, then the Vista AIW driver from Diamond.
Then I uninstalled the whole mess and installed just Diamond package with driver 8.570. The tuner is recognized, but the Media Player hangs when setting up tv stations. I uninstalled again, then installed another Diamond download with the same results. I uninstalled again and installed from the CD which came with my AIW board(V 8.503). Tuner is not recognized at all! AND now I can't uninstall ATI components at all. When I try to run the installer, it doesn't make a list of files to be removed, just hangs up. I did also use the Device Manager/Video Card/properties/driver route to download a driver which is version 8.762. The tuner is not recognized! I'm about ready to toss the whole machine out the window(not really) but this is really puzzling. BTW, the driver version which was working before my system crashed was V 8.690.

Shows the same for me when you click the download link on the page. File not found. And ATI doesn't let you direct hotlink to these hotfix downloads. They'll give you an Unauthorized Download.

if you are attempting to link directly to files on our servers your readers will be seeing this page, please link to the pages on support.amd.com.

They don't want people direct linking the downloads.

Dang...

We'll just have to wait until the proper link is posted on the web site.

Sorry guys =/.

You could get it here as of right now if you wanted.

Catalyst 10.10e hotfix

Not sure how they got a hold of it when it still has file not found from the AMD link.

Safe site.

 

[Seven Eleven]

i got it from techPowerUp. lots of mirrors there.

 

[Solarstarshines]

I hope this fixes the none MLAA in my 6870

Is this what has turned up in my WU? I dont normally get graphics drivers from WU but direct from website.

 

[Airbot]

Probably not. Don't think WU would push these compliment hotfixes (a, b, c, d) rather just the major 10.10 one. I'd get it from the standalone download from AMD, or the link there. Every time I've used WU for a AMD or Nvidia graphics card update in the past, it was either older, or forced me to system restore after installing it.

 

[swarfega]

Yea thats why I raised an eyebrow at it. Its only 25mb which is below the normal size. If you click on the info links on the right, they are linked wrongly.

I think that they were the 10.10e's or d's. I had 10.10 installed and I also
had it show up on WU.
Hmmm...
Downloaded, this is what MS is supplying.
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0791
Driver Packaging Version 8.791-101026a-107889C-ATI

It's just my own personal taste, but I never let WU install any graphics card updates anymore. You may have another opinion about it, but screw ups through WU turned me off to WU for those updates specifically.

I'm with you. WU generally works quite well for me, but you can count on it being a step or two behind (at least) version-wise.

I think the size discrepancy people are seeing is due to it being:

A) A stripped-down WHQL version
and
B) No CCC

But this is a higher version than the 10.10 release. It must be some hot fixes to the driver.
It doesn't modify CCC - it is a driver update.
Let you know if there are any problems. Installed painlessly with no reboot required.

I installed the hotfix and it was pretty much screwing with my flash player i uninstalled and reinstalled the 10.10 from the site im only missing the MLAA

Im still able to play full graphics but the issue of them not having this fixed is kinda annoying especially when they have new product that they havn't properly fixed the drivers for

what can you do i hope they get it right soon i not to happy wasting 300.00 on products not working properly

 

[brianzion]

[Solarstarshines]
