I have the HP Dragon HDX laptop... It was really dragging with XP and so I upgraded to 7 during the public beta, but I always had a problem with my display. I have tried downloading the drivers on the ATI website, but my display has strange artifacts on it, and flickers on and off until I uninstall the driver. I was really hoping that once I upgraded to the release version of Windows 7 that the issue would be fixed, but it's still happening. I've searched around and can't find a fix... can anyone help?

Thanks!

Install this driver. If the display errors continue after, the laptop is physically damaged.

Thanks for the help torrent, but I don't see my video card listed on that nvidia page. I have the ATI Radeon 2600, these are the drivers for this card:

ATI Catalyst? Mobility Display Driver

Is there a nvidia driver that i need to use to make it work?

Hey. Sorry about that. This link should install well for you. I must have a had a brain freeze while posting the last link for you. :D The release says it's for 64-bit HD 2600 mobile series.

I still don't like how you describe flickers with strange artifacts. Hope this driver will fix that for you, but there is a decent chance odds-wise that it will not.
