Need help with ATI 4.8

Like I stated earlier, the release notes for the WDM drivers (found here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wdm_4.05v2.html ) say, WDM first, then Display drivers. The WDM drivers can be installed through the .inf in OemPnPPath, but as Bashrat pointed out, you can't really control the order in which those go anyways.

Not if your using the full installer you don't have a choice, only when using the seperated downloads, then the proper way is still as I mentioned above.

and for the new Control Center, I'm sure the installer won't complete on a system without an appropriate card, however, It'd be nice to avoid it running at all when it's not needed.

It doesn't run, doesn't even show up in the selection unless the appropiate card is detected in the installation. See pic below.

I'm new to this board, which is a pitty, I should have been here before cause it's one of the best!

Can someone tell me what the exact files are that are needed for driver files. Mostly theres .cat, .inf and .sys, but here it's a mess of files :)

My story:

- Bought a laptop with XP home, no recovery cd with it and no floppy drive, want XP PRO

- So i need to slipstream a cd myself

- tried and failed to get my fasttrak running in textmode

- but thanks to THIS FORUM i managed !!! :)

- now i'm eagerly wanting to slipstream it all :w00t:

- but i need some more help ;)

(I read a thread yesterday and they asked me to provide the files for txtmode raids when you are succesfull, where do i need to post them?)

Thanks in advance

A search helps!

Also the isscript engine has to be updated before you install the control center.

Look here for more info

of course it helps! if i post it's because i've searched before and i've found 3 installation methods, i currently use the administrative installation but i dunno if the setup.iss method works better bcuz i haven't tested mine yet. now again my question "any1 can post his silent installation method for control center?" worked?

edit: i guess my installation method don't work because there is a problem with the tempmode of rar sfxs

Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but can some1 post me the dir listing of the files needed for ati drivers (only drivers indeed), thx!

btw i've found a "hack" to mod current ati display driver files to reference ati mobility drivers, i'll try them and post back on it.

tested the mod and it works :)

You can find it on the driverheaven forum.

1. DL original files from ati for you radeon card

2. extract to a location

3. run the tool, choose extracted folder, choose card type

click mod and you're done.

I've got the new Control Center running on my Mobility Radeon 9700 256Mb with the latest drivers: fastastic! :w00t:
