exclamation Hardware accerlatoin/driver installation problem catalyst 8.8 radeon 3650 256mb

Hey everyone, this is my first post on driver heaven but i have been searching for hours to fix htis problem
I just got my lenovo t500 with discrete graphics, (specs at the end of the post), i updated from vista basic to vista ultimate and now i need all new drivers, not that i ever used basic in the first place but more importantly i got the catalyst 8.8 32bit drivers and used mobilitymodder 1.1.1.0 (whatever the final version is) and that appears to have installed correctly, i can get the CCC and everything like that, but when i boot it says something along the lines of "the catalyst control center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. update the drivers."

When i test to see if hardware acceleration/everything else was working by going to solitare, it says that its running in software rendering mode, and that hardware acceleration is not turned on. When i go to CCC it won't let me change resolution in there, or do anything really for that matter, i mean the window pops up and it's functional, but there's really nothing that i can alter in there, it says that the refresh rate is 1hz and other wierd information..

Please help! I want to play some games but can't :'(

Thanks,
[dManuZ]

Lenovo T500
