Possiedo un Dell Studio 1557 computer portatile con un AMD (ex ATI) Mobility Radeon 4570. Mentre Dell fornisce un driver, they don’t keep up-to-date with AMD’s monthly release cycle so in the past I have installed newer versions from AMD directly.
For some reason one of these installations became corrupt, and despite my thorough removal of all things catalyst, including the use of the catalyst removal tool, driver sweeper, and various manual deletions of files and registry entries, any new versions I download only offer to install the Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes and the Catalyst Install Manager. There is no option to install the CCC or the display driver itself. Although it is possible to work around this (using device manager to install the driver, and running various .msi installers manually to install the CCC) this is fiddly and I’m not confident everything is really installed correctly. Fortunately I found a link for a “hacked” version of the catalyst 10.12 driver which, as a bonus, includes the new control panel. These installed perfectly and gave me a full set of install options including the driver and the CCC. As a huge bonus, this also seemed to “fix” the problems with the official installer from AMD — Having installed the hacked version, rebooting and then rerunning the original installer now also shows up a full set of installation options, come mostrato di seguito!
That’s very interesting. Cheers for the warning. I wonder what Sony have done which caused a problem — at the end of the day, un 5470 is a 5470 and should be compatible with the drivers. Did you report the issue to AMD? If not might I encourage you to do so?
From recent experience, I would say be VERY cautious doing this! Especially if you have a Sony Vaio. I installed the divers from AMD for the Radeon HD 5470 in my Sony Vaio E Series, and then got system freezes/lock-ups over the next few days. I thought it was a hardware problem at first, but removing the AMD driver and going back to the ATI-branded driver provided by Sony solved it. So I guess at least some manufacturers are producing laptops with ATI/AMD graphics that are NOT compatible with the drivers from the AMD website — but you will NOT get an error if you try to use them!
