My Dell Vostro 1088 came with Linux. I replaced it with a 32-bit Win XP Home edition. But I have run into a dead end looking for an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 driver for Win XP.

1. I tried Mobility Modder, which after much hassle and experimentation with various Catalyst versions, worked with Catalyst 9.12. At least it faithfully modded the files and prompted for a reboot but that did not install the display drivers.

2. ATI does not provide notebook drivers, they direct you to Dell. Fine.

3. Dell provides only Win XP Intel drivers for my model, though it has an ATI driver for Win Vista.

So I am stuck. Could it be so bad? I can't get a display driver for my hardware? Are any of you using Vostro 1088 with Win XP? Where and how did you find the drivers?
