Hey akon and welcome to seven forums

You do need a different driver in win 7 than in XP. Im not sure if you are 32bit or 64, so I just got you the link to both they can be found here Graphics Drivers & Software hope this helps

The 3850 AGP needs to have the .inf edited to install. You have to install manually using the device manager if you want to use Catalyst for Win 7 drivers. (Just download the driver from from ATI for any high end card then, and edit as I said.) See my post here:

You can use the Vista hotfix driver if you want to install without hassle as ZigZag3143 has shown.

the hot fix did not work

so the new driver and the hot fix didnt work. go into device manager by typing device manager in search. go to the display tab and tell us if your video card is listed, and if it has a yellow triangle on it?

I just downloaded the 9.9 Catalyst for Win 7, x86. I only have 9.10 beta available on my machine at the moment. I'm going to have a look and post the custom .inf for you in a few moments.

Edit: Here ya go. Directly overwrite your exisiting .inf in C:\ATI\Support\9-9_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\W7_INF with this one. Then install manually from the device manager, specifying this file. Update driver | browse my computer | let me pick | have disk | browse.

Reboot after may be necessary. Choose an Aero theme after, if the UI appears basic after reboot.

All 3850 AGP have dev_9515. Check that yours is too, because that's what the .inf was made for. It's a good idea to winrar the entire contents of C:\ATI to a .rar file so you can save this for any future installs. Or for new Catalyst versions in the future, you can still use this .inf in all likelihood.

hey this msg i just found out can you help me

 

[torrentg]

Possibly. That error code is likely due to your motherboard chipset. Probably nVidia, right? You should fill out your system specs, especially your motherboard. We'd need that info to help further.

I can tell by the name of the adapter that you didn't use my .inf. Give that method a try.

 

[akon407]

ok

[akon407]
