View Full Version : Latest ATI drivers for Boot Camp?

I would just like to know: are the latest Catalyst 6.7 drivers are available anywhere for Boot Camp? I have a 17" MBP with an X1600 Mobility. I downloaded the little app from the mobility section of ATI's site but it tells me to contact my vendor instead of downloading a driver. Apple has no listing of a more recent ATI driver for Boot Camp.

I ask this because I am experiencing a video card-related crash trying to start the tryout version of Adobe After Effects 7.0 for WinXP (from Adobe's site). As soon as the AFX startup gets to "Initializing User Interface", I get a BSOD. The video driver could be the culprit but the only way I can rule it out is to update it to the latest Catalyst.

So am I out of luck? :(

I installed the mobile drivers on ATIs site with no issues with no issues

Elektricity, what exactly did you do to install them?

And thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately the Omega Drivers do not have a usable multiple-monitor control scheme. Otherwise I would use them in a heartbeat.
