ATI Windows 7 Drivers

How did the installation go?

Well I went ahead and looked around on the ATI forums, because my issue wasn't resolved. The windows 7 download didn't really download any drivers, at least not the ones i needed. It didn't pop up with "No hardware detected" though, at least for me.

The ATI forums said that what is needed is for you to download the AGP hotfix for Vista (bit version depending on your copy of Win7), install it, and then go to the device manager and manually install the drivers from your installation directory you marked on the Install Wizard of the hotfix. I did this, and now both Graphics and Gaming Graphics on my Windows test came up from 1.9 and 1.0 to both being 6.0.

Try it out, if you have a problem.

I have an HIS ATI Radeo 4670 512MB PCIe Adapter and am running Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64 Bit Version 7600.

Here is what I did to fix it. After trying at least 20 different drivers from ATI's site, I finally ended up going to HIS site.

I downloaded the driver with this description:

..................................................................................................
ATI Catalyst: (ref. no: 0812)
Platform: Windows Vista (32bit/64bit)
VISTA Driver Verison: Vista_8.523-080808a-068036C-ATI with WHQL Note: Users must have Microsoft's .NET Version 1.1 Framework prior to installing the ATI driver/Catalyst Control Centre(CCC) components

..................................................................................................

The file name is:

Vista_8.523-080808a-068036C-ATI.zip

This is the Vista driver for an ATI 4670 512 mb PCIe adapter.

Uncompress the file.

1. Boot into Safe Mode.

2. Execute the following from a command prompt to turn on the Windows Installer Service:

REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
net start msiserver

REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
net start msiserver

3. Execute the following from a command prompt to isable Driver Signing:

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

4. Open the Device Manager.

5. Left Click and expand "Display adapters".

6. Right Click on the Display Adapter. Example: (ATI Radeon HD 4670)

7. Left Click Update Driver Software.

8. Left Click "Browse my computer for driver software"

9. Left Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

10. When the window with the prompt "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware." comes up, uncheck "Show compatible hardware".

11. Left Click "Have Disk".

12. Browse to the directory: "C:\Drivers\ATI\Support\Vista_8.523-080808a-068036C-ATI\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF" and click on the inf file "CH_68036.inf"

(That's where I put the uncompressed driver files.)

13. Select your adapter (if necessary).

14. Follow prompts and reboot.

You should now be able to select 1920 x 1080 using your VGA cable.
