Cannot update ATI RAdeon Xpress 200M driver
I've a real problem I hope you'll help me solve quickly. I'm a bit of a newbie on driver/graphics topics. Extract from my dxdiag report is shown at the end of my post.

1 Original problem: my laptop would not clone to plasma TV via RGB link despite displaying screensaver, drag mouse off laptop screen onto ext monitor/TV display [I forget name of this mode]. Fujitsu said I needed to update my driver for graphics card [ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M]. I found the main driver to be ati2dvag.dll v 6.14.0010.6542

2 ATI site indicated I should download Catalyst 8.10 Hotfix. I followed instructions to [i] upgrade to Microsoft.net 6.0, [ii] uninstall existing ati drivers through Add/Remove programs [leaving ATI Software Uninstall Utility]
[iii] then download the full Suite and also the smaller 13.5MB component update [8-10_xp32_dd_69561]. Ran Setup. Result: Severe warning "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit." Looking at dxdiag, the driver was unchanged and it would still not clone to plasma.

3 I registered for ATI/AMD forum where someone gave me the link to Mobility Modder download which seemed likely to solve my problem. I followed the instruction steps provided, firstly trying to run setup with 8-10_xp32_dd_69561 folder, then folder 8-10-igp_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm...........enu_69561.

[i] System has installed as main driver a file called vga.dll v 5.01.2600.0000 [which has a 2004 date compared with my original 2005 driver ati2dvag.dll]
[ii] my screen display is not so good but the laptop clones
[iii] when I Restart, I keep getting a Found New Hardware Wizard which is described as Video Controller [VGA Compatible]
[iv] Wizard cannot find driver software that is now in c:\ATI.
[v] Device Manager says the device driver is not working/has a problem

Can someone please give me simple steps to get the Modder to work in these circumstances or otherwise update my graphics driver.

Thanks
