Notebook Video Card Driver Update Difficulites

fatboy · May 29, 2005

Hi, I have an HP pavilion ze4300 notebook that comes with a 64mb Radeon IGP 340M video card made by ATI Technology, Inc. I've been trying to update the driver on it but haven't been able to. I've been to the hp support page and the ATI page and have downloaded the appropriate update drivers (both the same). Yet, when i tryed to install them, the one from ATI said it didn't detect the right card and stopped, while the hp support file installed yet for some reason nothing's changed. Can anyone help me?

From what I've read at ATI they dont supply drivers for notebooks on the site but direct you to your manufacturer, possibly why whatever driver you downlaoded from them doesnt recognise the card?

ATI Mobile Graphics products in notebooks
Display drivers and multimedia applications for notebooks with ATI graphics solutions are available for download from your Notebook manufacturer.

For your convenience, a list of links to notebook manufacturers is available in the ATI Onboard section of our website.

The display driver supplied with a given notebook has been customized for:

the built-in flat panel display
any other graphics or video options installed in that specific computer.
As a result of these customizations, ATI Customer Care is unable to offer drivers for notebooks.

The one from HP maybe the latest driver and no updates are available as yet... is the date of the already installed driver the same or differnent to the downloaded one?
