I had the same exact video card except in PCI-E format. Catalyst 9.3 won't work at all with that card. I think up to 9.1 or 9.2 works. If you're looking to do widescreen resolution, you'll be S.O.L. since that went out the window with RC (you'll need a Radeon HD or Geforce for that to happen).

ok well thanks anyways for all your help and Noobstix i dont think that what you said was completely true because with the driver that i have now (the one that came with windows). i get my full widescreen resolution.its just that it is off set and part of the screen on the left hand side is cut off and with CCC i would have been able to move it over( im pluged in to a Sony Bravia and i have no controls that i would have on a...

If you just install the driver, are there some special options available in the Control center?

If you can't get the driver to install, how is Control Center even going to find it?:)

Uninstall the Catalyst Control Center, they go to that site a download the driver only, not the CC.

iv tried uninstalling all of CCC and even when i do try to install just the driver it still says it failed at installing it... the driver my video card is working on right now is the one that automatically installed with windows 7 and CCC wont :frown:work with it

Let's go over this again...I should have been more clear.

Uninstall all instances of the ATI entries in Device Manager.

Download the driver only I pointed you to and just use it for a while and see if it works OK.

Post back either way.

Can you not just use the driver Windows gave you and download the 9.3 CCC package (without the driver) and install that?

You might have to point Windows to the driver after you install CCC by following the instructions in Link Removed thread on page 2.

The only thing I see failed is the driver.
<package>
<description>ATI Display Driver</description>
<result>Fail</result>
<version>8.600.0.0000</version>
<size>90 </size>
</package>

Everything else was successful
Maybe you need to get more detailed information on you hardware.

Ok Im just going to double check. You pointed it to the driver Windows update gave you right. Done the whole "have disk" thing? You might need to do some elimination with it.
Sorry if you have tried all this

Yes that is the version from Microsft because it's the WDDM driver.

This one might give you even more details:
