Some of the mobility cards have funny HWIDs, which mean you need a specific driver which ATi do not provide. The same is true with my iMac, which has a ATi X1600 mobility in it!

When i do that in Windows XP, it says that the wizard could not find a better match for the hardware i already have installed. The driver i have installed is version 8.162 apparently. When i check the driver details, most of the files are version 6.14.

You can update the drivers on your current system. Do this:

1) Extract DriverPack Graphics A.
2) Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware, now right-click your device and click "update driver".
3) A new window will pop up, "No I don't want to.... this time", then choose advanced and then navigate to \D\G\A\1, hit ok and hit ok again. Now it should be installing the driver for you...

You need to create a new Windows CD and reinstall.
I believe this is what you haven't gathered yet, right?

It will not help you getting your current system's drivers updated.

I'm a total n00b at this, so this might seem like a dumb question:

I run an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 notebook. I haven't been able to download it's latest drivers from ATI or Toshiba directly (for some reason), so i found this driver pack and decided to give it a try. So here's the stupid question: After downloading (which i did), how do i actually get the drivers on my pc and working? (i believe the drivers for my card in this pack are version 8.something?). I don't want to go copying and pasting stuff to the wrong places....
