overflow - understood, that's all i'm looking for, either a link or suggestions to another approach.

mr_smartepants - y, i know w7 is in beta - but i like it so far - and it runs smoother than xp even w/o the updated ati driver. i just thought if i could get the 9000 vista driver, or another one that works, it might improve the performance slightly. worth a shot!

thanks for the help, hopefully i'll figure out something or someone else might be assistance.

i tried to install the drivers from the link, but they did not work.

i wanted to make sure i was clear on my first post - i want the vista drivers for windows 7 - not the update to the xp drivers.

apparently vista has it on the install, i just can't find a place to download the drivers from. any other suggestions?

I have a Sony PCG-Z1WAMP1 laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon- I think its 7500 - with XP but I recently installed Windows 7 on dual-boot. Everything works great except for display driver. ATI stopped supporting these a while back, but I read that Vista includes a driver for the Mobility Radeon 9000 that many Vista users had success with. Can anyone w Vista email me the 9000 driver, or know where I can get them? it would be greatly appreciated! (apparently, Vista also included a 7500 driver, but most users had issues with this driver).
