Hello forum members,

Being new to the forums, i would like to say hello first.

Now to the topic. My sister owns the same PC as I do. I installed Windows 7 for her onto her PC. Now some things aren't, well, working correctly. The thing i noticed, is that the descripted graphics card, the ATI radeon xpress 200 series, isn't supported in windows 7, and thus cant activate windows Aero. Strange I thought. Especially since it's a 64 mb graph card (or so I believe), with 1GB ram, according to the website of windows, enough to run aero. Is it a problem with the card? Or is there a driver fix?

System specs:

1.8 GHZ~AMD Athlon (or turion, i belive athlon) 64
1 GB of RAM
Ati Radeon xpress 200 series.
Standard VGA
Windows 7 Ultimate, Aero not tested on other versions, I don't own other versions.

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.

That setup should work. Maybe you should try windows 32 bit if you're on windows 64 bit version, as you only have 1024MB of ram.

Hmm, I looked at the page, but it seems that the ati xpress 200 series isn't there. Also, I'm a bit confused. When I enter dxdiag, and look for the video card settings, it seems that it has a total of 256 v mb. Other programs only recognise 64 mb of video ram. Is there a problem here? And was the xpress series merged with some other control panel. Im running the catalyst control center.

you have to update driver by going to screen resolution and properties, driver tab and then update driver

did you ever locate the drivers?

i have 32 bit xp, well i had 64 and could not locate them there, went back to 32 same thing ther...went to win 7 32 and 64 and still nothing.... i really need help and the only reason i have been jumping os's is because the emu sound cards i have... they work best with 32 bit xp and vista... i asid the heck with vista and went everywhere besides that... what did your search lead you?

i have toshiba satalite L300D with AMD Athlon X2 64, nothing happends after windows starts up just a blank screen, is there a solution to this problem

Can it enter safe if you press <F8> a few times during the early stages of Windows boot?
