I can't install ATI Catalyst in Vista

[Mauro]

I upgrade my notebook to Vista and the video drive automatic installed by
Vista is RADEON XPRESS 200M (WDDM), version 7.14.10.8333.

When I try to install the version 8.5 (from the ATI site) nothing happens.

If I force to install the new drive, Vista Update still inform the best
drive is the older, and the CCC (Catalyst control center) still not installed.

Someone can help me?

You shoud'nt be installing drivers from winupdate, in particular Laptop
drivers which are often modified by the Laptop manufacturer, source these
from your Laptop site. - and if it aint broke why fix it?

You shoud'nt be installing drivers from winupdate,

While that was true for XP it doesn't appear to be for Vista.

 

[Mauro]

The manufacturer site indicate a new drive and software, but it don't
install. Without the software I am unable to adjust de video properties.

 

[Mauro]

I try to use the drive indicate for Vista. The option for XP inform that is
not possible to use.

Visit: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3660.html
and from the MS Windows Vista drop-down list select
"ATI VGA driver 8.31.100.32q" to download the correct drivers
for your video adapter.

I try this option, but still not working (I try to uninstall all drives, turn
off anti virus, and use the administrator account)...

The CCC still not instaled... like the drive...

The drives in this pack do not list the 200M, I force the 1150

The report of instalations said:
ATI Catalyst Install Manager - ok
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 red 32 bit - ok

And list as "detected", but no actions:
1) ATI Radeon Xpress Series
2) ATI Integrated SMBus Support

No error messages report

(note, I try to install in English, and in Portugues-BR)

 

[Mauro]

Another information...

The drive 8.31.100.32q is for Windows XP, not Vista

 

[Curious]

Not according to support at the ATI Website or the Vista drivers list at the
ATI FTP site.

 

[Mauro]

The "euro" site say that is for Vista, but the panamerica say that is for
XP....
