    I just replaced the graphices card on my 5500 with a new ATI mobility radeon X1800 that works great. I went to the AW site and downloaded the driver but is for the 5700 if I remember right.When I start the lapy and windows has opened it says --No ATI graphics driver installed,or the ATI driver is not funtioing properly. Where can I get the driver for this compuer and how do I install it so it works? I think AW only offered the 1600 card driver....Thanks.......

    Thanks for the fast reply. I just tried it 2 times and I get -Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. My operating system is XP..thanks

    Ok, I went there and downloaded Driver Detective.It said I had 27 out of date drivers and none for thr ATI card. I downloaded all and still get the same thing after windows is done loading.
