    Updated my asus to vista but for some reason it won't find my ATI X1700. When I try to install the catalyst drivers (Vista32_64_V833) they say they cannot find any installable components.

    Anyone know what I should do?

    the one that they offer on the asus website and the one that tomcool just said didn't work seem to be of the same version.

    but maybe i'm just not seeing something

    I just downloaded the desktop driver from ATI's website. It worked perfectly with my A8JP's x1700 in Vista.

    I had the same problem, when I tried to update the driver with the one on ASUS's website, it kept giving me an error like "no compatible hardware found" or something. I was going to try the ModTool from DriverHeaven.net ( http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/) but I ended up not even needing to mod the 7.5 release. It was nice.

    Does anyone have a definite answer to making the drivers fully compatible? I can't believe ATI still hasn't given this product its full support.
