Problems with videocard

trevorian · Aug 1, 2007, 03:32 AM

Hello there, well i've purchased an Acer notebook, actually the model 5100 3019 with widescreen wxga. This model has an ati Xpress 1100. Well i've tried to install the latest catalyst from the ati website by the mod method. The instalation was ok, but when i tried a game, the games are no longer full screen. When i was using the acer drivers this didn't happen, does anyone have an idea of what is the problem with my laptop?

Thx

Hello! I've a similar problem. When I installed my driver on XP 64 the graphics show's only 16 bit but on display properties it inform me that my graphic is on 32 bit. Someone can help me?

Being ATI Express which is basically just a fancy build in video really can not handle today's games. They may run, but at extremely low levels. It's possable they won't run your games in fullscreen because of that.

For those drivers do not use the latest Cat's, use the Laptop manufactorers drivers.
