Win7 x32 and x64 drivers difference

[symbianas]

Hi, I have some problems on windows 7 x64. At first I have installed windows 7 x32 and launched windows update. It updated my video card drivers (ati mobility radeon 4670), I saw that there are more resolutions to choose of. And when I installed windows 7 x64 and done the same there were no change in resolution list why? I need 1280x800 resolution. Is it possible to add it some how?

Go to ATI's website and download the proper driver from there.

ATI Catalyst™ Mobility Display Driver

Or just click that link.

I installed it, but the resolution list didnt change. Only in ati catalyst there are some more resolutions, but not 1280x800

I guess I need to get back on x32 if I realy want 1280x800 resoliution :huh:

Fill out your system specs. It's impossible to give advice when we have no idea what hardware you own.

Just filled, I hope they will help to solve my problem:huh:
Maybe its possible somehow to copy resolution list from x32 to x64 os? Where resolutions are writen?

Well, since MSI does not have any 64 bit drivers for your laptop (for Vista or Windows 7), you might have to use Windows 7 32 bit if you want everything to work. If you have an extra drive (or you can afford to buy another one), I would install 7 x86 and use it for your primary OS, and then install 7 x64 on the secondary so you can fiddle around with it to see if you can get everything working.

On a side note:the drivers linked by KazeNoKoe23, although on a page that said mobility display driver, do not actually support any mobility chipsets - according to the release notes.

If the driver you are using isn't working you can use the 64bit vista driver just install it in compatibility mode. Right click the setup file go to properties and click compat tab

Hope this helps

So I want it to have on x64 too :huh: the problem is only that there is less resolutions to choose of. Resolution setting are writen in driver yes? well why ati just didnt add the same resolutions to x64 drivers?

What is the refresh rate set to (60htz, 80hz)??

 

[symbianas]

It is set to 60Htz and it is the only available choice.

I actually have not installed any drivers on x86 to have 1280x800 resolution I just used windows update:

After the update I had that resolution.
On x64 I tried the same:

It updated the same (looks like the same drivers), but I dont have 1280x800 resolution :huh:
