Vista-Ati generic driver extraction

[jmacie]

!st off. thank you for vlite! It's the best program, ( in my opinion) written for optimizing windows. I have a laptop with dx8 video. I use un-aeroed Vista x86 with Microsoft's generic Ati wddm driver. I loaded w7 -6801. w7 only gives me a generic vga driver, and I can't get a 1440 X 900 display size, only 800 X 600 to 1200 X 768. Is there any way to extract the generic ati vista driver from vista install disk? I tried a few different things, including upgrade over vista to w7, but it still gives me generic vga driver. ATI and toshiba stopped supporting my laptop immediately after I bought it. Specs: P35-s611 with mobility 9100 igp. Any help would be appreciated, thx jm

I haven't tried this before, but this would be how I would start.

Search the INFs for your Hardware ID. You'll need a third-party search util, or do the search on something that isn't Vista, unless you've figured out how to do string searches! To make it easy, just search for 'VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx'. You need the & in there, and the xxxx are whatever values appear in Device Manager under the Details tab.
