    Hello,

    I just upgraded to Vista yesterday on my A8JP, and ran all the necessary driver installations. It appears on the driver CD there's a VGA graphics driver, and my laptop isn't detecting my x1700. I've downloaded and installed the catalyst 7.5 for vista 32 bit, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything either as I don't see a catalyst control center anywhere. The folder it installs to also is empty when I check it.

    Any recommendations for getting my x1700 recognized?

    Go on Asus' website and look up A8JP. The graphics driver on that works great. I'm getting about 130 fps on many maps in Counter Strike Source with the details and res jacked and a 4.4 Aero score.
