2.6.2 Driver Installation and Setup

Step 1. Power on your computer and boot into OS.

Step 2. Remove the ATITM driver if you have any VGA driver installed in your sys- tem.

Step 3. Install the required drivers to your system.

For Windows® XP OS:

A. AMDTM recommends Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or higher to be installed (If you have Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or higher installed in your system, there is no need to download it again): http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx

B. You must have Microsoft .NET Framework installed prior to downloading and installing the CATALYST Control Center. Please check Microsoft website for details.

For Windows® 7 / VistaTM OS:

Install the CATALYST Control Center. Please check AMD website for de- tails.

Step 4. Restart your computer.

Step 5. Install the VGA card drivers to your system, and restart your computer. Then you will find “ATI Catalyst Control Center” on your Windows® taskbar.
