1. Download the necessary software:
First, download the latest Catalyst driver from ATI's website here. Note to select the correct operating system on your computer. If you still find your graphics card in the list, you are still supported. If not, you download the product of the same type.
Then, download Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 here. Perform installation after downloading MSXML 4.0.
Finally, download the DH Driver Modder driver editing software here. Extract ZIP file to a separate folder.
2. Steps to proceed:
With Windows Vista, you need to turn off user checking (User Account Control - UAC) and restart the computer. Although this is Vista's security feature, users complain and often turn it off. However, you can turn it back on after the driver editing process is complete.
You then run the Catalyst Driver file downloaded from the ATI site. Follow the process according to the instructions on the screen, when the software fills the file to the hard drive, ask if it is installed on the system again, then stop the installation (Cancel). At that time, the entire driver package is in the folder (folder) in the form: C: ATISUPPORT8-2_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_xxxxxDriver (where the number xxxxx is the driver version).
