I am confused about the list of ATI Downloads and Drivers. Please
what is the relationship between MMC 9.0, Catalyst 4.5 and the other
drivers posted on the ATI website for use with ATI All-in-wonder
Radeon cards ? I need help to keep track of the various updates.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

It does kind of get confusing with so many different drivers, addins and
optional software being updated on a more or less monthly basis, doesn't it?
There is a basic installation order outline noting required/optional
components with ATI download links at our web site, if it might be able to
help you out at all:

Hope this helps somewhat.
 
Thanks. I've installed the card a few days ago. It looks ok, but I
have not tested all its functions though. Would you advice that I
uninstalled it all and follow the procedure outlined on your website ?
Or just to upgrade the Catalist File?

Thanks.
 
Generally, if you're not replacing a graphics card, especially from a
different manufacturer such as nVidia, and have a fairly recent previous
official version of drivers, you should be OK just installing the newer
version on top of the older version. This works fine 95% of the time, but
the uninstallation/clean installation steps are provided just in case.
 
Wow! I just completed the installation of the Drivers following the
instructions from your website. The display is stunning. I am
watching TV now - looks a bit more rich than before. I find that the
display is flickering a bit unless I set the refresh rate to 60. Also
I can see some wavy horizontal lines when watching TV - is this some
noise from the cable ? Do I need to do some fine tunning ?

Thanks again.
 
For some reason the flickerring gets worse at a higher refresh rate.
Is any other setting related to this ? Its like the rate is backwards
or something.
Thanks.

I have the monitor set at a resolution of 1024 x 768 and a refresh
rate of 85HZ which is what the manual for the monitor recommends.
This appears to have the best result even though I would still like to
have it more rock steady. My monitor by the way is a NEC Multisync
FE700+

Thanks all.
