    I have the official dell drivers and I cant get the amd drivers to work correctly. Can someone explain how to install the amd drivers correcly? I am trying to install 11.4 drivers with 11.3 cap 5. After I delete the dell drivers, I boot to safe mode and use driversweeper then I boot to normal widows. When I install 11.4 drivers and reboot it didnt install any video drivers. What I am doing wrong?

    Did you download the drivers from amd's website? If so make sure they are the "mobility" ones and not the desktop graphics.

    and why installing 11.3 cap since there is already 11.4 cap?

    check this link http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...-official-11-4-mobility-drivers-released.html

    I did download the mobile version. Do I also have to download and install the catalyst software suite? If I do, do I install these first before the catalyst control center video driver?

    Use the direct download link in the thread linked above to download the complete package (about 85mb I think) and then you should have no issues.
