DH Tool: DriverHeaven Mobility Modder 2.2 released

Thank you!

Does this version support Cat 5.3?

 

It even has support for 5.3 and all other versions

 

Thank you for the new modder Patje. However after installing it and istalling the drivers I cannot start the CCC. Some application error pops up (0xc0000135). What should I do to correct this?

 

I'm not even sure the drivers installed correclty. How can I check that?

 

Hi Pat,
I'm using the 2.1c with 1280x800 and getting all I want from that version. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't really need the new version do I?

 

GregS, if you are able to mod the 5.3 with modtool2.1c then there is no need for you to get the new version, unless you want to see the new looks or so

afsr, make sure you have the .net framework installed, if so, try reinstalling the drivers once more by running the setup from C:\ati\...\support folder. might do the trick

 

what is .net framework and how do I find out whether I have it or not?

 

The .net framework is a package from microsoft which is needed to run the CCC.
more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1/

 

2.1c has worked on the every Cat I've tried so far without any problems. When you say new looks, are we referring to the modder or the different resolutions that might be available to me?

 

Well, I was merely referring to the new background, but yes there are some cards that will get more and correct resolutions.

 

I was referred to this site from a nice participant at the DELL forum.
I have not been able to find any W2K driver that can be installed in the Inspiron 9200 lappy that has the ati Mobility Radeon 9700 video card (128Mb).
I would like to dual boot to W2K and also XP. W2K allows me to use some legacy programs that could not be migrated to XP.

From reading the postings, these are the implicit steps to install the ati catalyst driver.

1. Install MS. net to W2K. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en
2. Install the mod. program from this site.
3. Finally install the later ati Catalyst 5.3 (apparently 2 files on the ati site).

Q: Are there any specific steps in the mod. program to facilitate correct install of the mobility radeon driver to W2K. Are these steps useful for installation of driver to W2k or just for XP?

Please help to educate a newbie.
Thanks

 

As you mention, if you are going with the Catalyst Control Center version you will need to install .Net. If it were me I would download the the 5.3 package that included the Catalyst Control Center or the one with the old style Control Panel. Either one will work and it's your choice. Download the Modder from this site, Go to the location on your hard drive where you downloaded the 5.3's to, launch the 5.3 setup program, the install of that will fail with an error message and abort the installation process, next go to the location of where you downloaded the Modder to, launch the Modder program, from the drop down menu select your graphics card, push the start mod button and select OK until it's modded all files, then select to install the drivers for you, when installation is done, click reboot.

 

Hi GregS:
Thanks for your kind reply.
That is exactly what happened every time I installed the Mobility Radeon 9700 driver that various people told me about. The driver would almost completely install and a message that I don't have the correct driver came up and the installation terminated.

I will try your method next. If I can get driver install, I can then reload XP to allow my lappy to dual boot.

 

You're welcome. When you look at ATI's site choose the version with Catalyst Control Center or the one with the Old Style Control Panel all in one download. They have it listed for dial-up where you can download the Control Center or the Old Control Panel seperate but I usually get the one that has everything in one download and is around 24 meg's.

FireGL T2 Issues

Ok , so i downloaded the ONLY 2 FireGL T2 drivers on the ATI support page one was called firegl-8.08-041111a-019501E.exe (Performance Driver(Seems to be for FireGL VXXXX cards) and the other one was called (firegl-unified-8.103.2.exe) Unified driver, it seems the catalyst drivers are not made for the FireGL cards or something since when I pick FireGL as an option i get sent to these 2 drivers, the only way i can get myself to download the catalist driver is if i pick the Radeon card and not the FireGL card.

I have a Compaw NW8000 Workstation Laptop and my default manufacturer drivers are short of a piece of crap, ive almost shot myself when i found that after investing almost 4.5k US on this computer system i couldnt update the drivers since compaq ones where 100% made for 3D graphics PROGRAMS not games, which sucks inmensely.

In any case i tried running the mod on these 2 drivers and none of them worked i just keep getting this "This directory does not contain the correct files, please check the directory and try again" message, then shuts the modder down (which is majorly anoying since i have to reclick trough 20 directories back up to my desktop to get back up where the drivers where)

What files am i supposed to be looking for? (insert name of filename i should look for here).inf? or am i just doing something wrong and if i download a catalyst driver for a radeon then mod it it should work?

I know it sounds silly but this has been a mayor problem with this graphics card, heck the GeForce 4200/Go on my TC1100 tablet PC is working better than this card and thats utter bullcrap.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

Ok if i use a catalist driver from a radeon card and use the modder specifying a FireGL T2 it does "Work" however for some reason the OpenGL is set down to 1.1.0 instead of 1.5.36 thats the current one with my manufacturers driver, is this intended? or is the mod not working as it shoud? any help would be strongly apreciated. Im trying to play Kotor 2 which in video programing terms is a POS and for some reason it REQUIRES OpenGL 1.4 or better AND DirectX 9.0c as well.

 

xionixFire, What i'm guessing here is the following, my attempt to mod the catalyst files (not fireGl) and add the fireGL card to the list it seemed to work. however, it also seems openGL is messed up indeed. So what i'm thinking is that maybe we should add the info of the mobile card to the fireGL drivers, I can do that, but i need you to test it for me. I'll try to do it today but cannot guarantee it.
