As we had read in this forum, ATI has dropped the support for the DirectX 9 graphic cards like mine, the Radeon X1950.
This means no working Windows 7 drivers and no longer support for OpenSuse!
I had installed the Catalyst x64 drivers 9.1 on Windows 7 RC x64 but the driver is quite erratic: If I move the mouse over an icon, normaly the tooltips will be shown as long as the mouse pointer is over an icon. If I move the mouse pointer away, the tooltips should go away.
But not with Catalyst x64 drivers 9.1: After some time of working I have a lot of vodoo toolstips on the screen, which cannot been eliminated.
There is a workaround: Change the Screen Refresh Rate from 59Hz to 60 Hz or back from 60 Hz to 59Hz to vodoo tooltips go away.
I had the same phenomenon also on the last Catalyst x64 drivers for Vista (9.3), so I also switched in Vista x64 SP2 back to version 9.1.
What should I do? Throw away the Radeon X1950 which in under 3 years old now and purchase a new graphic card?
After that lousy support of ATI I don't have so much motivation to purchase a ATI card again, but they have pricy offers (Radeon 4890, 4870 or the inexpensive 4770, which is announced but no dealer has it in stock at the moment.
Or should I wait up to end of the year when DirectX 11 graphic cards are available? I also own a Nvidia 8800GTS in a second machine, same age but no problem with drivers for Server 2008 R2! Can you recommend a Nvida card and which model?
Normally I need support for 2 digital ports (flat screens) and support for the newest Windows and OpenSUSE / Ubuntu versions!
I have a kind of old laptop, a Dell Inspiron E1705, and it has an ATI Radeon x1400 graphics card. I really want to install Windows 7, but I'm not sure if this card will be able to support the Aero interface. Will everything go smoothly?
I use Help and support frequently. Finding the answer to a problem is one thing, finding it a second time is another. When you're dealing with web pages it's easy to find what you've found a second time. You just copy the URL and paste it somewhere so it can be clicked on in the future, but not so with Help and support.
The only way I know of to find a particular page again is to write down my steps (like in a word processor) and then retrace them. Just wondering if I'm missing something or if there is an easier way?
Tonight I will be configuring a newly-purchased Sony VPCCW290X with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.Almost by accident, I have read/discovered that Windows 7 allegedly either doesn't work with WEP, or doesn't work well with WEP.Our home router is a Netgear WGR614 v9 (802.11g).The reason that we "have" to use WEP is that there is an old Mac laptop on the home network, running OS 9.2 (yes, this is OLD!) that does not support WPA. That is, OS 9.2 does not support WPA, and there is no hardware or patch available making it support WPA.So I've read dozens of threads in these forums about Windows 7 and WEP or WPA, and they just seem to be arguments over whether Windows 7 does or does not support WEP. All I want is a definitive set of instructions of how to get THAT computer to connect to our home network, using WEP.url...is a link to the specific computer, if that matters.I'd imagine that Windows 7 is "backwards compatible" enough to support WEP; I just want to get this new computer onto our home network.
I own a HP HDX-18 Notebook (it has 4GB RAM), and I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) not too long ago. The laptop was being problematic giving me a blue screen of death with a 'Power_Driver_State_Failure' message, so I figured it could be problems with driver compatibility. I formatted the hard drive again, and installed a 32bit version of windows 7.
When I right click and go to 'My Computer', it only acknowledges that 3gb out the 4gb ram is being used. Why is this? Is Windows 7 incapable of supporting up to 4gb ram? Do you guys think I'm better restoring the laptop to factory settings (Vista Home Premium) with the recovery CD?
I have installed win 7 about 4 weeks ago and I have a hp laptop dv5115nr which uses the ati mobility radeon xpress 200, win 7 uses some generic driver which is ok but not what I am used to (xp pro), is there a a site to download the driver free?
i have Windows 7 ultimate x64 and the drivers to run my ATI Radeon 4870 work and have already been installed when i switched to windows 7 from windows vista.
I try to download the control center where i can overclock and change settings for my PC and whenever they start to install i get the blue screen and my comp restarts... What can i do?
p.s i did go to windows 7 x64 on the drivers list on the ATI wedsite and didn't accidentally click another OS
Can any1 help me with this driver for windows 7 , or at least for vista x64 , i'm a little bit nubbish with the search on google i found only catalist but didn't found the driver.
I keep getting this problem whenever I play any games, mostly World of Warcraft. I always get the BSOD! It's the most annoying thing in the world. I just upgraded to 7 yesterday and I downloaded the new drivers from their site.
Newegg.ca - XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Cardis my current and old card, I'm trying to find something under the $200 price range again with better performance... also, the card should preferably be the same size lengthwise...8.5") I can probably jam in a 9.2" card..
I have this computer:Pentium(R) dual core CPU e5300 @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz(RAM) 3.00GBAti radeon HD 4350 512 ram When I try to, for example, create a planet in photoshop(small document) at the end when I try to save my work I get a message that there is not enough memory and couple of hours work goes to waste.Is it possible somehow to tweak my Windows 7 so I can do this?Pleasae I just got this upgrade few months ago and I don't have resources to do a new one.
I purchased a Radeon HD 5770 not to long ago, I just tried to install it but windows does not recognize it! I Know people had trouble with this is the past but with other cards. I Have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
i got in a trade my Laptop which is a Toshiba Satellite L650D-038 ( Not Sure about the -038 ) and i got it with Windows Vista 64Bit and erreased it for installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit what worked all very well but when the windows installation finished i noticed that the driver for the graphic card was not installed and also the wireless and ethernet driver was not installed so i checked in different forums and find out that the drivers doesnt come with windows 7 for this Laptop so i got the respective drivers all from the respective publishers and install them. The glitch or Wobbles happens all the time in games in browsers at Word and also here by making this question in the forum, it stops or freezes like 2-6 seconds and then goes on like nothing and then like 1-2 min later it comes again or also earlier. I installed already the drivers from the publishers and also the ones from Windows Update but noon helped me really.

I'm using an LG 60LD550 on Radeon HD 6450 to watch movies. I have installed a new MOBO/CPU which required a graphics card which I was not planning on so I grabbed a cheap one till I decide which dual cards I want to run when I get yet a newer MOBO and 8 core CPU in the coming months.I have set up the following presets in AMD Vision Engine Control Center
When I switch to the LG Preset I get a picture in multicolor fuzz I can barely see. It defaults to 1080p/60hz. When I change it to 30hz the picture clears up but does not take up the whole screen. In about 2 minutes the setting reset back to 60hz and it starts all over again. I can't seem to do anything to make the setting work. Could it possibly be the crappy video card I chose?I had the same TV hooked up to my old setup and everything worked fine.Here is my old set up.
MOBO - ASUS M4A785-M Graphics - Integrated
Presets - Same as above. 60" worked fine. No fuzz and used the entire screen.
Okay ive been searching the internet (and this forum ) for a driver for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.
I know its an old card.. but its still decent.
ATI have put it under the Legacy support list? but if i try and install that.. Windows 7 wants to tell me that the Microsoft Corporation WDDM Driver is better and wont let me install it.
is there a work around this?
And is it possible to get Aero Support with this Graphics card?
I went from Windows XP Media Center x32 to Windows 7 Ultimate x32 on my HP Pavillion a1230n, and so I really want to upgrade my graphics card. Is there anything I can do to upgrade it?
I have a Radeon 5700 graphics card. I currently have two screens running off DVI ports. My graphics card also has a HDMI and DisplayPort available. I know that my 3rd screen needs to be running from the DP connection to facilitate 3 screens. owever, my screen only has HDMI and VGA inputs. So I bought a cord that went from DP to HDMI so that it could go directly from my tower to my screen without any adaptors. However, It still wont work! Apparently, I need some sort of 'active DisplayPort adaptor'. But my cable output to screen is HDMI. Is there an 'active adaptor' that is DP but goes from HDMI to HDMI? That seems like a very obsure thing to exist.
In devicemanager i have displayer Radeon 9600 tx (microsoft corporation - WDDM) but on the symbol is a yellow sign with a exlamation mark in it. Rightclick+properties tell me:
"Dieses Gerät wurde angehalten, weil es Fehler gemeldet hat. (Code 43)"
Furthermore it seems i have no advanced graphics. e.g. i cant change display resolution.
I play games sometimes on the weekend.The fan of card is a bit noisy.And the temperature reached 70*c wille playing nearly all the games.Should I replace the fan or the card? If I sell the video card now,how much is it worth?It still looks like a new card. If I update the card to a better one.
I have an Acer Aspire 7750G-6662. It has switchable graphics with Intel Graphics as well as AMD Radeon 6650M 2GB VRAM.I've already solved my first obstacle, which was how to set my laptop to only run the Radeon Graphics.
To make long story short, I need to buy this old ATI Radeon 7000 but I want to make sure that this card is supported by windows 7.
I search for official driver from AMD but seems they no longer support it but I found the driver for windows 7 on the net. ATI Radeon 7000 drivers. Can someone please confirm it works with Windows 7?
i have just installed windows 7 on an older system with a radeon 9250 128mb agp video card.
i tried installing the latest catalyst driver package just to see if they would work but they didn't detect the card, and i couldn't manually update the drivers via device manager since the card would not see any compatible drivers.
is there any supported drivers avaialble for this card for windows 7?
I recently upgraded from vista to windows seven on my lap top but ive noticed that now everygame i try to run either errors and closes or runs the game in only a specific set of graphics settings if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.
i have a sapphire HD 5770 a little over a yr now and recently it started giving problems and now it does not wrk most of the time. what happens is that when the computer is turned on the card starts up (the lights on the back of the card light up green and soon after they start to flicker and turn off and the fan spins really fast and loud as if there is no six pin power connector in the card. i gave it to a friend to check it for me and it wrked in his system for about 4 days str8 the started to chip off.
