Mobile 2600 HD on XP (32bit) - can't change for newer drivers.
Hey. I'll begin from the start. Once I had Vista on my laptop, but wanted to change back to XP. So the problem begins. I use AutoCad a lot. When installed XP, I installed also drivers for Radon from Toshiba (manufacturer of my laptop). Name of installation - display-20071207143025. Link - http://downloads.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=645795 (from Tohsiba - manufacturer of my laptop). As you can see, they're so old (2007 year). But AutoCad worked and so did game, that I play a lot - Frets on Fire. Recently I installed Dragon Age (new game from BioWare) and had artifacts with those drivers (often screen changes unnaturally colours - pink, green, yellow etc.). So... I downloaded Drivers Catalyst 9.10, used Mobility Modder (of course Windows warns me that drivers are not certified) and - artifacts in Dragon Age are gone. But, when I try to use 3d view in AutoCad, it cracks. When I try to run Frets on Fire there is a hourglass for a moment by a coursor, screen turns blacks and immediately returns to Windows' desktop. Log from this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "FretsOnFire.py", line 85, in <module> File "GameEngine.pyo", line 374, in run File "data/PyOpenGL-3.0.0a5-py2.5.egg\OpenGL\error.py", line 92, in __str__ self.shortRepr( value ), File "data/PyOpenGL-3.0.0a5-py2.5.egg\OpenGL\error.py", line 123, in shortRepr if isinstance( value, (list,tuple) ) and value and len(repr(value))>=40: MemoryError Any ideas? I can't change drivers every time I want to use AutoCad or play DragonAge. Not to mention, that AutoCad is a very demanding program for a graphic card, so such old drivers are no good for it. Update 1: I've also tried drivers 9.1; 9.2; 9.3; 9.8; 9,9. None of them worked. The same problem as with 9.10. Update 2: Finally, it works.
