Topic: [CLOSED] Black screen after Drivers from DVD

I did a method 1 slipstream with All driver packs
took the D folder from $1 and put it on a DVD
I popped in a web cam pointed at the CD and it worked!
Device Manager -> update driver for sound card
point to DVD
finds and installs fine.

However when I try with the video driver I get nothing but black screen. 
Black when I boot into anything but safe mode.  Windows is booting (I can hear the music).  Just no video.


This is on a x1030 Compaq Laptop
ATI Mobile Radeon 9200

In safe mode in in the device manager it shows the video adapter as a radeon 9000.  (which seems familiar from a standard install)

When I slipstreamed I chose the with .net option...
I do have .net installed.  It installs during my UA install.

Whats the best way to approach this?

I have the correct drivers so Ill use them to get it working.  But I was so thrilled at having all those drivers on one cd.  no muss, no fuss!!


thanks!!

Re: [CLOSED] Black screen after Drivers from DVD

Hm, since this is a laptop, I think it may incorrectly set the screen size and/or refresh rate resulting in the black screen.

Chances are, your Mobility 9200 isn't properly supported by the Mobility Modder (http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/), which is what Bâshrat the Sneaky is using for notebook compatibility.

Suggestion:
If possible, do not use the driver from the slipstreamed DVD, use the ordinary Catalyst driver from ATi's page.
Then, use Mobilitzy Modder on it and install it.
If it gives you the same problems, I think we'll have found the culprit.

Solution:
Contact the author of the tool about your problem and have your card properly added to it.



If it's working with MM, it must be something else...

Re: [CLOSED] Black screen after Drivers from DVD

I installed it using the proper driver and all is well.  Ill try your suggestion and see what happens.  It does show that card as supported...  If not Ill let them know.
