x1900 + catalyst, driver wont work

febus123 · May 20, 2009, 10:26 PM

Hey there,

have been tryin to update my ATI mobility radeon x1900 on vista32, so downloaded the "Full Catalyst Software Suit" from that site: Drivers & Tools | GAME.AMD.COM
reason for the update was an awkward display error of my new photoshop

. so after i had installed the driver via the modder, the ps problem seemed to be fixed, but for my grafic card, it looks like it just took some default driver from windows and cut off the ATI-one: even though it says "ATI device updated 28.4.2009, version 8.612.0.0", i eg cant switch my resolution to 1920xsomewhat how it was before, just to 1600x1200 and in the device manager, there s a yellow exclamation mark next to the card.

during the installation with the modder, i hadnt have any problems

now...is that normal?
grateful for any help,
felix

Glad you got it sorted and welcome to DH

Just out of curiosity what was the fix?

uninstalled the first one (think it was 9-5), there i had my old driver reactivated and the resolution stuff etc. fixed. after that, i jsut tried to mod the 9-3 catalyst, which went perfectly, also with the ps

cheers
