ati xpress 200m 在 windows 7 下的安装

请注意：即便你按照本文来安装此旧版显卡驱动，Windows 7 采用的新版本显示技术（WDDM 1.1）仍无法使用到已经淘汰的显卡上。

I have spent about 3hrs trying to get the windows aero to enable on my slightly dated hp pavilion dv5000 laptop and I finally did it, so I thought I would post this thread to help others who cant get aero enabled (even tho your gfx card should do it easily).

我已经花了3小时来尝试在我的老本本hp pavilion dv5000上启用Windows 7 的 aero 预览效果，最终，我搞定了！！ 所以我想我需要发这个帖来帮助其他人也可以正常的使用这个功能。

Firstly, dont bother with that registry hack, it doesnt work.

首先呢，不要尝试去修改注册表，没用的。

So, I downloaded the latest ati catalyst from the website, installed it, and expected to see some nice glass windows.....WRONG, nothing changed

嗯，我之前下载了最新版的ATI catalyst 显示芯片驱动管理器，安装后，以为可以看到漂漂的Win7的玻璃效果，结果啥鸟都没发生。

So heres what to do, open DEVICE MANAGER from the CONTROL PANEL , from the device tree click on DISPLAY ADAPTERS, double click the name (mine says ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES), then click the DRIVER tab at the top, what does it say next to driver date???? If it says a date from 2005 like mine did, its not using the new ati catalyst driver (which I will assume at this point you have already installed to no avail).

以下是我找到的正确做法：打开设备管理器（在右键“计算机”－》管理里面），然后找到里面的“图形适配器”，（显示可能是“标准VGA”。。。字样），双击之后，打开顶部的“驱动程序”标签页，你可能会看到里面的驱动程序日期是2006/6/21等，反正我的就是这样的。这就说明呢，系统并没有使用最新的ATI 显示驱动了。

吃饭了，以下以后再译。。。。

My theory is this, Windows uses the driver it feels is best suited (in this case the ati driver is not digitally signed so it ignores it), and it is using a driver for "Standard VGA Adapter" so running Windows Experience Index test will have a base score of 1.0 like mine did so, no aero

Here is the solution.......

Firstly, install the ati catalyst (I had to use a slightly older version which was supposed to be for vista cos my radeon xpress 200m was not in the .inf file)

Then....

From the DEVICE MANAGER open the DISPLAY ADAPTER properties (as described above) then on the driver tab click "UPDATE DRIVER...", then from the pop up box select "Browse my comp. for driver software ", then select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my comp.", then click the "Have disk..." button, click "Browse...", by default the ati drivers will be in C:/ATI folder, so browse to this folder, the folder string on mine was like this "C:/ATI/SUPPORT/9-8_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc/Packages/Drivers/Display/LH_INF" (It may differ slightly on yours), well keep going thru the folders similar to how I just described until it shows a file called something like CL_85694.inf then click "OK", then in the box labelled "Model" you will see a list taken from the .inf file, go down the list until you find your card (in my case I was looking for ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series), highlight your card and press "Next", after which you get a warning about it not being compatible, just ignore it and click YES, after its installed restart pc and thats it, aero enabled, my base score went up to 2.9 after doing this

This should work for most cards and installers so doing it with other types of cards should work no prob, you will just need to force windows to use the unsigned drivers like I did.

Hope this helps!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
