Catalyst 7.5 for Vista 64 bit

I have been running Catalyst 7.4 with Vista HP 64bit and tried a fe
times to upgrade to 7.

I have a X1650Pro PCI-e and during the install the screen goes blank.
can hear the typical boot-up music so I know the reboot is working
however it never enables the screen

I have tried removing all the ATI software, and installing the 7.5 bu
with no discernable difference

Anyone else have this problem with a solution at hand

Thank

We gave up on ATI drivers for one of our boxes that has an X1650 card in
it. It's using dual monitors and we could never get them to work
properly. An that stupid CCC always crashed.
So we deleted the card and all drivers and let Vista install the WDDM MS
drivers-RV530LE.
All graphics and the dual monitor setup now works perfectly.
Go figure?

I have 2 machines and both use the 7.5 driver without a problem in vista 64.

I'm not surprised, the drivers included in the OS often work well. One
other thing about ATI (I prefer their cards but they can be very
frustrating) is that they make a lot of "white box" cards and they do
NOT provide drivers for them. They may provide drivers that will sort
of work but not necessariy as well as they should.

I've succesfully installed the drivers for an ATI X1950 on 64-bit Vista. The
installation went smoothly for me. Is there a specific reason you need v7.5
drivers, and 7.4 is not good enough - I find that usually there's not much
of a difference between versions and it's not worth upgrading unless the new
version fixes something specific.

Cheers

I don't need any drivers, you've replied to the wrong poster.
