Hello DH
I’m sitting here with this weird problem. A few days ago I installed, first the Omega drivers and later tried the Mobility Modifier on my laptop (an Acer Aspire 1680-series with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700/64MB graphic card) and I was blown away … I could now play games, that I wasn’t allowed to play before due to old drivers…
But before the installation I forgot to delete the old ATI controller, so there was a little conflict between the two ATI controllers. I then decided to reset my system to the restore point, I made just before I began to play with the drivers, after which I deleted the ATI controller from the Add/Remove Programs section.
Without thinking I agreed to remove all ATI related material, this apparently included the original graphic driver. Now I can’t install the new catalyst drivers (tried 8.12 and 9.11). After the modification of the files in X:\ATI\Support\DRIVER* and the executions of the setup.exe file, the installations aborts after the unpacking of a lot of files, and a message appears saying something about; not able to install the driver because a driver suitable to the hardware couldn’t be found. Hell I can’t even install the original driver from Acer now, without the same message.
After restarting the computer I get the following massage "No ATI graphics driver is installed or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware."

*8-12_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_72271
and when this didn’t work
9-11_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc respectfully,




Hope someone can help me out with this one, thanks in advance. (Have tried to reset to the above mentioned restore point, but it doesn’t fix the problem of installing a newer driver)

Ps. Sorry for spelling and grammar errors, English isn’t my first language.

- make a complete backup of your current system
- you may try to reinstall or remove the driver from the hardwaremanager itself ,
a pc should boot with a safevga or some integrated whql ati/nvida driver ,
but dont know how that would affect notebook powermanagment - Your
notebook may overheat !!!
- you ll also need to remove the rest of the ati sh...
from your notebook - maybe registry cleaner or something like that -
note these tools most likely delete empty entries and may cause additional
damage to your xp...

after that try reinstall the original driver from the notebook manufacturer
actualy it would be the best : you backup your files and do a recovery with the
original recovery cd
