Acer Extensa 5620G + ATI Mobility Radeon 2400XT + Catalyst 9.11 = No go

Hello! It's my first post

Anyway, I have a Acer Extensa 5620G laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon 2400 XT graphics card(running Windows XP SP3). Older 8.xx versions worked great with it(modded drivers of course).

However, when I tried to install 9.11(with this new installation manager), everything looked almost great with one exception - drivers could not be installed because they were unsigned(this was said at the end of the installation). I tried turning off the check for signed drivers in Windows XP but that did not have any effect. Do you guys have some advice?

EDIT: I managed to install Catalyst 9.1 with drivers, but it's using the old setup(not the new install manager).

Uninstall everything that have with ATI to do, reboot, remove 'ATI' and 'ATI Technologies' folder in your program folder, go to C:\Windows\System32\, find a bunch of files named ati<some random letters here> and remove them all. Check you're removing the right ones. Only files with ati in the name should be removed. After this, do a reboot again, then install a older hacked version and reboot and thats it. Removing those "ati<some random letters here>" is probably not necessary as they are probably replaced with older versions when you install the older version.

I tried installing 9.11 but its a new installer and it doesen't work as described above so I just got 9.1 but I'm hoping there's a fix for 9.11

I'm getting the same problem; the 9.11 driver fails to install, the log cites 'Driver Install: the driver package is not signed' as the error.

Currently running Acer TravelMate 7720G, Windows XP SP3, Mobility Radeon HD 2600 with Catalyst 9.2.
