    Problems with Graphics drivers

    After formatting my mates laptop we've been unable to install the drivers for his graphics card. It's a time laptop with a Radeon 320M card in it.

    I've tried drivers from ATI, and other sources -such as driverguide-, and all the drivers we have tried come up with the same error message during installation, which is; that we need to install standard VGA drivers.
    Any help appreciated.

    The standard catalyst drivers fromthe ATi site won't work with that laptop GPU, you are going to have to go to the laptop manufacturers website, find the model, and download the display driver from there

    Have you tried the latest ATI drivers there supposed to support mobility IGP's in the drivers now.
    https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27

    Or if not you could give these a try..

    (They allow you to mod the latest Catalyst drivers to work with the 320M)

    We've sorted it now, thanks for the replys. Unfotunatly I have a feeling the card in his machine has taken a bit of a beating over the past year or so and it still crashes out of games.
