smeezekitty Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 So far it appears the latest AMD Catalyst graphics driver for Windows Vista in Catalyst 13.12 (despite still supporting 14.x for XP!)Now I know that Windows 7 isn't hugely different from Windows Vistaso is there a mod to get the latest Catalyst drivers to install on Vista SP2 32 bit?

MagicAndre1981 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) edit the .inf file and replace [ATI.Mfg.NTx86.6.1] (Win7 is 6.1) with [ATI.Mfg.NTx86.6.0] (Vista is Version 6.0) Does this work?

I was able to install Catalyst 14.9 by running the normal installer which updated CCC but not the driversthen going into C:\AMD\Support\14-9xxxxx\Packages\Drivers\Display\WB_INFI went into all the infs and changed all instinces of [ATI.Mfg.NTx86.6.1] to [ATI.Mfg.NTx86.6.0]and installed through device manager. It shows the driver date at 9-14 so it appears like it worked. Down side is the new CCC version shows the error"The procedure entry point QueryDisplayConfig could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.DLL"on boot up and when I click certain tabs in it but it still works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Down side is the new CCC version shows the error"The procedure entry point QueryDisplayConfig could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.DLL" yes, this function is only available since Windows 7: Available in Windows 7 and later versions of the Windows operating systems. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff569215%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I didn't know that driver signing was different between Vista and 7 http://www.davidegrayson.com/signing/is it possible that the issue is due to the change in the .inf (and thus of the hash in the .cat file)? jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is certainly possible it was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
