Sp0iLedBrAt Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers are no longer bundled in the AMD Catalyst software suite. The WDM drivers install bundle can be downloaded independently through the AMD website.An added bonus: the last link that I provided DOES include WDM drivers! It's only a matter if they fit.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hello,Thank you all for your support.I tried all the solutions mentioned above, even the "modded" ones, but it is still not working.Possibly is not a driver problem. I receive error messages from the Catalyst (see captures), as:"Catalyst Control Center cannot be started because the curently active GPU is not supported." I searched and found that some people fixed this problem with a BIOS setting, but I didn't find that option in my BIOS.Best Regards, Gabriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Who needs CCC? What is important is that you have installed drivers and your GPU is functioning correctly.So, go ahead and remove that cr*p from Add/Remove Programs; I think it won't mess with drivers if you just choose CCC.CheersMore: it just occurred to me: does this error message occur when the ATI 7670m card is active? CCC is set to autostart on boot, so using the Intel card will throw this error, as "the currently used GPU is not supported". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible that the CCC error message is only a consequence, I don't know. I removed CCC, and let the drivers. I have no more error messages, but the yellow mark is still there.Gabriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bphlpt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You show two different "Display Adapters", the Intel one and the AMD one. Are they both installed? Why? How, since this is a laptop? Assuming the Intel one is not used, disable it in the BIOS settings, if possible, or simply uninstall it, then AFAIK, it should no longer appear to Windows. At that point you can try to reinstall the AMD Radeon 7600, you might want to uninstall it first, and see if that fixes things. I suspect the two were interfering with each other. Either that, or I'm just totally confused. Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Ok, time to go down Trip's path. Grab a camera/ cell phone, restart to BIOS and take screenshots of anything you think is relevant and post them here (or even better, upload them somewhere like dropbox and post the links).

I may be able to find the appropriate drivers but since I'm all messed up with this thread, I need this info:- model of notebook- hardware ID of the Intel video device from Device Manager- and may be helpful, the Code number reported in Device Manager for the ATI device that is flagged.

Gabriel Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hello, I already uninstalled AMD and Intel display drivers, unfortunately Intel uninstalled also the audio drivers (I don't know exactly why), but I reinstalled all in a different order - first the AMD driver, without CCC, but it is still with yellow mark.I cannot do many things in BIOS, it has no so many options to change.- model of notebookThe model of the notebook is HP Pavilion g6-2011sq- hardware ID of the Intel video device from Device Manager- hardware ID of the Intel video device from Device Manager (which is OK)PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_183E103C&REV_09PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_183E103CPCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&CC_030000PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&CC_0300- hardware ID of the AMD video which is not functioningPCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&SUBSYS_183E103C&REV_00PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&SUBSYS_183E103CPCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&CC_030000PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6840&CC_0300- and may be helpful, the Code number reported in Device Manager for the ATI device that is flagged.This device cannot start.

allen2 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Perhaps the amd driver wasn't properly installed the first time and now isn't working.Could you try the following :- download the package 12-8_xp32_dd_ccc.exe (if you don't still have it).- extract with 7zip everything from the 12-8_xp32_dd_ccc.exe archive to a folder (for example 12-8_xp32_dd_ccc).- go into that folder then in $_OUTDIR\Packages\Drivers\Display\XP_INF and check if you have the files CX145314.inf, CX145314.cat , CX145314.msi and the folder B143900.- go in devices manager, then display adapters, then right click "amd radeon hd 7600M series" and select update driver from the context menu then follow the wizard (not checking for drivers on the internet) until you reach the choice "install from a list or specific location" and choose this option then select "don't search. I will choose the driver to install" then next then click "Have disk" and select the folder identified at the previous step (12-8_xp32_dd_ccc\$_OUTDIR\Packages\Drivers\Display\XP_INF).

allen2 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Try unchecking "show compatible hardware" and then manually select from the list the right one and not the generic device (i.e. not the "Radeon HD 7600M series" and choose the "Radeon HD7670M" instead).Another option would be trying to install the official HP x86 drivers for the Radeon HD but perhaps it might be better to install them from a clean XP install. I couldn't check them (if they contain XP support as well) as the package is about 400MB and hp website is a little slow right now.Edit: Download finished and indeed HP drivers contains also XP x86 drivers but as i don't have the hardware i can't be sure they will install properly though.

No effect (only the name changed).Another option would be trying to install the official HP x86 drivers for the Radeon HD but perhaps it might be better to install them from a clean XP install. I couldn't check them (if they contain XP support as well) as the package is about 400MB and hp website is a little slow right now.Edit: Download finished and indeed HP drivers contains also XP x86 drivers but as i don't have the hardware i can't be sure they will install properly though.Done, but no effect. To be sure, I uninstalled drivers for AMD (the driver dissapeared from device manager), and run the executable - the catalyst (without restart between these actions). Anything new in Device manager after running the executable - see capture 2.After reboot, automaticaly the system recognise the AMD Radeon HD 7600 M Series (see capture 1), with the yellow mark. I unzipped the package with 7zip, and tried also to update the driver directly with Have Disk, pointing to the 4 *.inf files found in the package, one by one. I received every time the same message: "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." see capture 3Gabriel Edited January 4, 2013 by Gabriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
