ATI drivers on Microsoft Update Catalog

#1 Post by GomJabbar » Sun May 03, 2009 9:28 am

I just found the following information posted on another forum. You can search the site below using IE for ATI Windows 7 drivers (as well as drivers for other versions of Windows). I imagine you can search for any number of Windows hardware drivers on that site.

That is really helpful. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to download some of the ATI drivers off of there. They get to something like 99% and then the download fails.

This is both on my ThinkPad T43 w/ Windows 7 on Windows Updates, and a Desktop system with Vista loading up that Catalog. The ATI drivers just won't download for me (I'm trying to grab the Mobility X300 ones).

But they are also available via windows update, so why bothering with manually downloading and installing them?

They failed to download on Windows Updates. I thought downloading them manually would work.

Same download error though. Other stuff downloads fine.

ATI conspiracy.

I've been able to download the Radeon Mobility X300 driver for Windows 7 from the catalog MS update site.

However, I only managed to do it when booting from my Windows 7 installation (build 7000). In Vista with IE7 and IE8 it would not download (immediate failure when commencing download).
