Mobility Radeon won't do 3d

j-dogg · 11-December-05, 11:35 AM

My Dell c610 has a Mobiliy Radeon in it, 16mb. I use it sometimes in my car at car shows for racing games and what not. But it won't do 3D now. 2D is fine. Whenever I try a 3d application I get a BSOD that says something about one of the ATi driver files. I can't rememebr which one. Also, when I try to install the new Catylist drivers, well, any drivers for that matter I get an error that says INF error, video driver not found or some crap like that. Everything in the display properties seems to be OK. WTF is wrong with this thing?

Download the catalyst removal tool from the ATI site, use it to completely remove the old files, then re-install the 5.12 drivers. You should be good to go then. I have seen this happen before. Hope it works for you.
