    Hi all,

    I have a M15x with the 5850 graphics card and I kept getting error messages regarding a link missing. So I deleted the driver and tried to re-install a new ATI CCC full suite but It keeps failing to install.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks"

    use driver sweeper to fully remove all traces of previous drivers. Are you sure you're trying to install the correct catalyst mobility drivers for notebooks and not the desktop versions?
    Re-download from here

    Hi mate,

    Using the link, which is the same place I have tried to download from, it downloads then I have two options, install or finish. I click on install but it doesn't do anything??

    Thanks for your help buddy
