Using an older Dell Latitude D600. 1.6ghz / 1.25 gb ram / Radeon Mobilty 9000
- Installation was a breeze (including the formating of the HD to install over XP)
- Driver support SEEMED spot on (more on that in a bit)
- It is at least as responsive & robust as XP (takes some getting used to tho)
- Not a huge fan of the Task Bar. Not as user friendly or informative as previous versions (IMO. Can't move the quick launch, not as much at a glance info)
The issue I am having is apparently with my video driver. The driver is installed (no errors in device manager). The text looks good, the resolution is great. The issues start when:
a) I run the Windows 7 "Test" System locks. No keyboard. No mouse. Need to do a hard reboot.
b) Try to watch a dvd. Windows Media Player launches, system locks as described above.
c) Install Windows Live Experience. System locks.
I cannot find an official Vista driver for the Radeon Mobility 9000. I sadly may have to go back to XP simply because I use this laptop to play movies.
Any input / advice regarding the driver would be hugely appreciate...
