Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released Too bad we can't install them on our laptops, since ATI no longer supports laptop (embedded) graphics chips - you have to wait for the OEM to release them. Yeah, right. Like Acer will ever release an update for this Ferrari. Sigh. -- Charlie.

No problems at all (that was 32-bit XP though). Graham.

Guest Barb Bowman Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released Kerry, did the driver actually install or just the updated Catalyst Manager?

Guest Kerry Brown Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released I have Vista Business x86 and Server 2008 Enterprise x64 installed on this laptop. Both show the driver version as 8.512.0.0 after installing the latest driver from ATI. The Catalyst Control Center doesn't work properly in Server 2008 x64. The driver seems to be fine.

Guest R. C. White Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released Hi, Kerry. Me, too. I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 and see driver version 8.512.0.0 in Device Manager after installing the 8.7 driver package from ATI. I did not even download the CCC because I don't need that extra overhead. I don't know why I bothered with 8.7, since my computer was running fine before - and it's still fine with 8.512. RC -- R. C.
