    Just wanted to know if anyone had installed the catylist 5.6 driver for windows xp, of if it is recommended to do it at all. If anyone has, is it worth the upgrade? Thanks

    i guess i answered my own question, when i tried to install it, i got an error message, i;m guessing the drivers are for desktop graphics cards only or something.

    I dont want to get down on people but please try the search feature first, this question has been answered at least twice in the last week alone. There are work arounds for ATI drivers & I will leave those older posts to speak for themselves.
    Thanks
