Hi there and welcome to DriverHeaven!

I assume that you are talking about the mobility modder.net?

Did you downloaded the newest desktop drivers from AMD/ATI?
Did you uninstalled the old drivers first then rebooted and then installed the new modded drivers??

Yes i have tried to uninstall old drivers and rebooted and installed modded drivers.
it says that it has modifyed the inf file and it modifies the msi file everytime when i do it.

this is the driver: 8-5-igp_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_sb_gart_enu_63030.
and still its Driver Packaging Version 8.493-080512a-063030C-ATI

You have the wrong set of drives. You need to get the normal set of drivers not the igp set.

Here are the drivers what you need : AMD GAME Drivers & Tools

I have exact same problem ....

is this a catalyst bug or the drivers are really old ,

i figured this out when i posted 3dMark06 results on the web , then i saw the best score and he had 8.4 Drivers (not catalysts)

and i had 6.14....

oh here is mine >

Driver Packaging Version 8.493-080512a-063030C-ATI
Catalyst® Version 08.5
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 6.14.10.6806
2D Driver File Path System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Video/{1E102378-CBD2-4AE8-AA43-81343A8C5767}/0000
Direct3D Version 6.14.10.0583

AIW/VIVO WDM Driver Version 6.14.10.6238
AIW/VIVO WDM SP Driver Version 6.14.10.6238

I have already instaled new 8.5 catalyst suite , before , i had 8.4 ccc , and i remember driver version was also 6.14..

I also tried to reinstalled the drivers while 8.5 ccc was left in ... but no success.

It shows me: " ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series ", and it doesnt tell me which one is , in 7.1 catalyst everything was ok , but i dont remember driver versions .. i can try installing those CCCs and reinstall the latest display driver ... hmm..

Also in the VPU recover section the option "send VPU report to ATI" VANIHSED ?

i think this has to be a bug wont work with this systems i have exactly the same

Win XP pro SP3 32-bit

That's it im contacting ATI , but i heard they do not respond and are always angry?

Im testing with 3DMark and wierdly i have a little less then i expected so drivers mean much ... if the drivers fix the score then it's really a serious bug.

You can't look at the numbers of the driver files. It is just a number that the maker gives. By the drivers only the last number changes and sometimes not and in a driver update not every file needs to be updated.

So just look at the driver package number and the Catalyst version number.

hmm ... the system that i was comparing to had vista (32 bit), and X2 version of top ATI card .. well ok then ...
btw ATI has way better drivers(ccc) than Nvidia.
