    Hi,

    I've got a laptop here at work that we are having to downgrade to XP for compatibility issues with our server. Unfortunately we haven't had any luck locating XP drivers or using Mobility Modder for the ATI 3200 in it.

    Are there any good XP drivers available? Performance isn't an issue as the laptop is only going to be used for sending/receiving programs from CNC mills/lathes. I'm just looking for drivers that are functional so we don't have to use the laptop at 1024X768 resolution.

    Hi,
    AMD doesn't offer XP drivers for this chipset ( AMD Support Search).
    Perhaps you can use the "normal" Catalyst drivers from AMD.
    Virtualization is not an option for you?

    Thanks for the response.

    I was hoping that there were some XP drivers. Oh well.

    Virtualization is not an option for the environtment/user base that it will be going in.
