Re: x700 drivers for the aspire 5024
I merged the 2 posts since it was cross posted to the Software section and had a slightly different question in each.
Most notebooks will not be able to run the drivers that are downloaded directly from the ATI website. These drivers are really designed for desktop cards and not mobility cards. BUT, you can run the ATI Mobility Modder utility from www.DriverHeaven.net which is capable of modifying some files so that it will allow the drivers to install correctly.
Here's the link:

Just so you know, I got an .NET Broadcast Error after installing the new Catalyst Control Center on my HP. I have also read reports of other people online (not specifically notebook users) that also had this type of a problem. I haven't seen a solution yet. I just installed the ATI Control Panel version, rather than the Catalyst Control Center version of the drivers (both available on the ATI Site).
The ATI Catalyst drivers v5.6 perform better than the 5.5 and definiately better than the older drivers. The modded 5.5 drivers I had in my HP with an ATI Mobility x600 w/128MB gave me a 3DMark05 of approx 1570, but with the new 5.6 drivers installed using the same settings, I got a score of 1611. I think that's a big jump for just a driver upgrade.

Hi
I know for a fact that the Omega drivers (www.omegadrivers.net) work on the 5024, although i'm not sure how they perform against the official Catalyst 5.6 drivers.

Wow, that's the first time I've seen that before. They never had a Mobility driver. That section usually said to contact the manufacturer for the drivers. But since it's out, you need to run the Installation Verification Wizard. I don't know how that'll install the drivers as it's only 1 MB, but it may go online and pull them down after it verifies that it's compatible. Again, it'll only work with specific system types (manufacturers). It's possible it may not work in your system, but it's worth a try. I'm sure the drivers will be the same as the standard Catalyst 5.6 drivers for XP.

The verification wizard tells me that my lowly 5024 is not worthy of the majesty that is the catalyst mobility driver. Damned high and mighty software.

Redfrog,
Why not just run the ATI Mobility Modder on the actual ATI x700 drivers from the ATI site. It'll install and should be the same. I did that for the x600 drivers for HP nx8220 and it works flawlessly. I used the one without the ATI Catalyst Control Center (got the Catalyst Control Panel version) and have not received that .NET error again.
