i'm having a simular issue with my dell 600's using ati 9000. when you first boot up it trys to install the control panel before it finishes intregrating the drivers (method 1) and claims it can't find the files. I have to cancel the ati control panel install and let the drivers intregrate then manually install the ati ( via update driver in device manager) the driver packs graphics 5071a did not have this issue.
