    Hi, I have an Acer 1692WLMi with an Ati MOBILITY RADEON X700 and I cant use the ATI MOBILITY CATALYST drivers on it. Is there a way I can update my graphics drivers with the CATALYST, or is my only option the graphics drivers that are in Acer's own downloads and support website? If so, when will they make an update for the graphics driver for the X600/X700 found in the 1690 series?
    Thanx
    [ :D]

    www.driverheaven.net and use their mod tool, all you need to do is download the latest desktop drivers and unpack them, then they can be modded then installed.

    Thats ok, I seem to be helping a few people with laptop things today, not at all desktop issues. Even had emails about overclocking laptops..
