| Hmm...I went through and got this as the driver set: AMD GAME! Drivers and Utilities
I did that starting here: Drivers & Software and selecting Vista x64, Radeon, X1600.
But, that said, I'm not sure it'll work. You may be stuck with the FireGL drivers: ATI FireGL™ Unified Driver Version 8.44 for Windows Vista (64 bit)
While the V5200 is based on the X1600, you may not be able to do the same things. For example in the world of aircraft, an RC-135 is based on the Boeing 707. Unfortunately, you can't put a 180 people in an RC-135, because they changed what it was designed to do. So, if you take a FireGL (which is designed for graphic design), you may not be able to do the gaming that the X1600 was designed to do. | |

I have tried numerous time to install that package, both on my x86 version, and now on my x64 installation. Please view the two photos to see that the driver is still shown as 8.383.1.1000, dated 6/21/07 (first pic, titled "ATI_driver" see below), and on the Device Driver details page (second pic, titled "ATI_details" below), it displays a lot os "unknown"'s as far as the provider, file version, and copyright go, and it is not a signed driver, by ATI it appears.
What am I doing wrong. Every time I tried to get the driver up to 8.44, which is the latest (no?), the Catalyst Control Center says that everything is "up to date". But something is definitely not right here. So point of fact is that while I want the X1600 driver to work, at least in part (ideally), I don't even have the latest FireGL in place!? What am I missing here? What do you recommend that I do next?
Thanks so much for helping me with this!
