Problem with ATI Mobility 10.7 download and HP laptop

[LoWRiDeR]

Dear all,

I have a problem with my laptop. I installed starcraft 2 and it says it does not "recognize my video card". My laptop is a DV6 series of HP with ati mobility 4650. I decided to uninstall the video card driver and install the latest ones in case it fixed the problem. However when I try to run ati's downloader, it says that my card is not recognized and i'm stuck with the windows 7 driver if I want it to work. Is there any way to download the 10.7 mobiltiy driver without having to go through the downloader? Any tips? Please help me I'm grateful for your time

u ether have to get the driver from HP as u dont have an ati 4650m u have an hp 4650m. or u have to find the device ID for your card then find the equivalent in the drivers ini file and replace it with the one for your card.

Oh crap, how do I do that?

I have the DV6-1140EL model
If someone could tell me step by step what to do I would be grateful...excuse my ignorance.

Please help me someone, I tried installing different packages and none installs the drivers. On restart it just autoinstalls the drivers available on windows update which are outdated Please someone? I have a DV6-1140EL HP with 4650 gpu.

Here is a link for the latest HP Certified driver for your notebook.

This is too old, and for some reason the game doesn't recognize my card as a 4650 with that driver..

Have a try with this tool. Should allow you to install regular 10.7 on your laptop with a 5650. Good luck!

I hate HP drivers...they are modified FirePro drivers for notebooks. It's horrible and they are buggy.

[LoWRiDeR]

That tool hasn't worked either.. I hate HP drivers as well, I think they are seriously downgrading the performance of my mobility 4650

look in your pm box, i sent u a link on rapid share with the customized drivers that should work, i dont know about the package and its only good for 10 dloads so i will wait to post the link until u get it.

for the next time, u may want to flash the bios to have a real cards device ID, but since u got lost when i was explaining the driver moding in the pm stream we had, u may not want to do that

Im not sure if this is relevant but i've had so many problems with 10.7 on my desktop using 3 monitors, It never detects the Displayport Monitor,well it does but it doesnt detect its resolution which is 1920x1200, instead goes down to like 600x400, ive tryed everything possible, so i rerolled back to 10.6 and everything works fine!

Thanks for the help Zanzabar, however I couldn't get it to work with the drivers you sent me either. It just wouldn't allow me to install them, or wouldn't see the device when I tried to do it manually so I couldn't select it in order to proceed

Anyone that has managed to fix this problem and install proper drivers on an HP laptop?

u were saying that it was a date problem in the pms so try a reinstall or wait until next months drivers and try

sorry meant date not data.

[LoWRiDeR]

Data problem? I said that? I only said that the laptop wouldn't find any compatible driver and wouldn't allow me to proceed with the installation
