ATI is still holding out on the 8.7 Mobile drivers. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow.
I'm getting G_A 8.07b ready regardless.

Yes, it's not an archive.
It's an executable, just double-click it.

Please do that Helmi, and report back.
I'm seriously tempted to remove the HDMI drivers until we can get this sorted out.
I can get a HD3450 for $35 here.

But the driver was installed fine, no ? At least it seems so.
No.
Not if you have a 'yellow exclamation mark'.
I don't want to sound arrogant, but without a suitable card to test on myself, I can only surmise that somewhere along the line you did something wrong.
At the moment I only have a mobility 9600 to test ATI stuff on. All my DriverPacks test perfect on that (along with my nvidia 8800GTS).
I can get a deal online for a HD2400Pro for around $45. But that will take time.
Has ANY HD2x00 owner had a successful test with any of these nightlies?
Anyone?
Or do they all fail.

Now how about some extra storage space for the nightlies?
I had to throw out some older nightlies to make space for the newer uploads. "Disk Quota exceeded" errors all over the place.

Re: DriverPack updates? (1 replies, posted in Other)
The release DriverPacks have undergone extensive testing and have proven to be successful and stable on multiple platforms.
The 'nightly' builds are our way of testing new drivers or new methods of driver integration and are therefore considered 'beta'.
You may find that the nightly builds are far more up-to-date than the release DriverPacks but because they are in testing, they may not be stable.

OK, the only files different between 806G\N1 and the 'new' 175.19 are:
nv4_disp.cat
nvapps.xml
That's it!
Sigh...stand-by for 806i...

And I just uploaded G_A 806H about an hour ago (which fixes the AVIVO codec install problem).

Well, now that is bad news.
Yours is the first I've heard of a desktop ATI HD2x00 series card not installing properly. And not getting the ATICCC installed is worrying as well.
Did you integrate .NET? Does it work?
I do need to see the DPsFnshr.log. You can email it to me: mr_smartepants 'at' driverpacks 'dot' net.
I may have to change what is included in the G_A DriverPacks.

Re: Ati radeon 2400HD -"Windows Help There is not enough memory available" (24 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Thanks for the update. I'm aware of the AVIVO codec problem and I'm building a new DP that fixes it.
I wasn't aware of any problems with the control panel though.
It's possible the botched AVIVO install borked the control panel installer since both use the built-in windows installer. I'll look into it.
Can you decompress the G_A dp and double click the d\g\a1\aticcp.exe file to verify it works on it's own?

Can you try this test pack?

You might get an error with the AVIVO codecs (I'm working on a fix already), but everything else should be good to go.

1. Windows logs you in and loads personal settings
2. Both GUIRunOnce from winnt.sif and RunOnceEX executes at the same time
3. Desktop and Taskbar loads
So if you have abc.exe run during GUIRunOnce, and xyz.exe run during RunOnceEx; then both abc.exe and xyz.exe will execute SIMULTANEOUSLY!!
This will cause problems!
