What is the last version of the ATI RADEON drivers produced that do not
require dot net to be installed? I have 5.7, and with that version at
least they produced both a version with and without .NET.

Where can I find the non .NET versions for download?

5.3 doesn't require net. 5.6 and above requires 28gb, net bogger xp.

I am running a 5.7 that does not have .NET integrated.

I can no longer find any downloads for those versions though. ATI seems to
have hidden or removed them from the site.
 
I could be wrong, but I think that .NET Framework is required only if you
decide to use Catalyst Control Center (as opposed to Control Panel). CAT
5.13 is the first version that did not offer the CCC or CP option. BTW, I
have both versions of .Net loaded and it has had no adverse effects on my
system. CAE 5.10 is the last version that will allow twp of my flight sims
to run so I guess I'll stick with it until I upgrade my 9800 Pro.
 
I remember previously that there were two distinct downloads: one that
required .NET and one that did not require .NET. The one without .NET
always inserted extra tabs into the Advanced Settings dialog for the
monitor. The one with .NET always started up a separate configuration
application, which is what I guess you mean by CCC. The .NET
configuration version hopelessly corrupted one of my systems to the point
that now it is virtually unusable and I'll have to re-install (for me that's
an unusual thing because I usually manage to keep a system stable for at
least three years...a small miracle when running Windows). Are you saying
that with 5.12 you still have an option to configure video settings in the
Advanced Settings dialog and avoid the horrid separate video configuration
application?

By the way, what is twp?
 
Hi Will,
Oops :( just a little mistake. I meant to say that CAT 5.11 is the last
version offered with the CCC or CP option. However, some posts indicate that
you may install the 5.13 drivers with a previous version (CAT 5.11) of
Control Panel. Seems to work for some and not for others. twp = another oops
:) should have been "two of my flight sims."

There's a hidden download for 5.12 Catalyst drivers with the standard
Control Panel. Look in the FireMV section rather than the Radeon
section. They work fine on Radeon cards btw.

Yes, and that with the 5.13 driver work fine. You may be missing a tab or
two, however (SmartGart and VPU Recover being the two most common). If you
are, there's an ultra-simple Registry mod described here by Dr. Zhivago to
get those back in a snap:

On www.ati.com :-)

1) click on 'drivers & software' at the top
2) on the left bar, click 'Drivers and Software'
3) on the left bar, click 'Windows XP'
4) on the left bar, click 'RADEON'
5) on the left bar, click 'Previous Drivers and Software'
6) in the middle, click 'Catalyst 5.13 Windows XP - Driver Download'
7) in the middle, in the section 'Low Speed (Dial-up)', you can find the
Control panel, and the bare driver.

Enjoy...
Thomas.

I don't see the CP there either ... Only items under Low Speed are:
-Display Driver Only
-Catalyst Control Center Only
-WDM Integrated Driver Only

The last one with CP listed is 5.11

Actually the FireMV Catalyst 5.12 drivers (which work fine with Radeons)
has the Control Panel.

I do believe that "display driver only" is what you want
