Let me first test the driver on my PC (my guinea pig ) and then I'll add the necessary HW IDs. Could you tell me your card's name and HW ID BTW?

greenhillmaniac Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Ok, just tested 2 AMD XP drivers, both original unmodded versions and with your file. Here are the results: - AMD Catalyst 14.4 unmodded - added all the necessary info of the R9 380 into the INF file, does not work. - AMD Catalyst 14.4 modded - added all the necessary info of the R9 380 into the INF file... The driver seemed to install correctly, and asked for a reboot, but after reboot it couldn't load drivers, error 39. - AMD iCafe unmodded - added all the necessary info of the R9 380 into the INF file... The driver seemed to install correctly, and the screen flashed black, but it gave error 10. - AMD iCafe modded - same as 14.4 modded. Error 39. I'm sorry to say this, but the modded files don't work . I copied the system files into System32 and System32\drivers as instructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc333 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Have you been able to do anything with the AMD A6 APU w/ Radeon R4 Graphics drivers I posted above? c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can mod the OS to stub/support certain system calls the new Windows 7 drivers need, and work around XP's limitations, or mod the XP drivers themselves to support more graphics cards. The mod @Dibya provided does the later. As such it only works with the XP made drivers. Windows 7 and XP are way too different, unfortunately. And, as I've said, it did not work on my system. I tried different driver combinations, with no luck. Try asking @Dibya for the mod and see if it works on your system.

I still believe you should start by making the drivers work on Vista, seeing that it's much closer to 7, and wouldn't require too much reverse engineering, compared to XP.
