i wanted to know how to install ati catalyst

 

First extract the ATI Catalyst 10.6 Drivers then enter Device Manager and use the "Have Disk" method to update the display driver. Have disk method is a way to install a driver that does not have any setup program to install itself automatically. In principle what you are doing is showing Windows where drivers are located. Driver installation scripts are written in *.inf files so a driver must have these files, and this file is located inside:

Drivers\Display\XP_INF\​

of the extracted directory.

To access the driver update follow the steps below:
1)Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2)The System Properties window will open. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.

3)The Device Manager window will open. Double-click Display adapters.

4)Right-click on whatever display adapter it shown and click "Update Driver"

5)Select the following option when the Hardware Update Wizard asks to connect to Windows Update: No, not this time. Click Next.

6)Select the following option: Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), and then click Next.

7)Select the Don’t search, I will choose the driver to install option, and then Next

7.1) UNCheck "Show compatible hardware"

8)Click on the Have Disk... button, and then click the Browse button.

9)Browse to the directory where you extracted the driver above i.e. the Drivers\Display\XP_INF subdirectory.

10)Locate and highlight the the CX100944.inf file then Click the Open button

11)Click the OK button. A window listing all of the available display types should open. Select the " ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470", and then click the Next button.

12)The operating system will install the driver. Click the Finish button when done.

 

As I know most of the N4010 drivers works with N5010 so you can try to download my most up-to-date set of N4010 drivers from the above links. Since I don't own an N5010 so you have to tell me which drivers doesn't works and tell me what particular hardware is used and I can try locate the missing for you and work out a complete set of XP drivers for the N5010.

To install the AHCI driver you need to enable AHCI in BIOS during the XP installation - in order to avoid BSOD upon the XP installation you have to:

1) Splitstream the AHCI driver into the XP installation CD

or ​

2) Copy the AHCI drivers into a floppy disk and press F6 when you see a message in the status line that says in the very beginning of the XP install process.

If you don't have a floppy drive you have to use method 1) and most people use nLite to splitstream additional drivers into the original XP installation CD.

For use in a laptop I would say ATA and AHCI mode doesn't make any performance different so you can just ignore it if you think the procedures to enable AHCI under XP are too complicated.

 

Hi,

Thank you very much.

I need audio driver for IDT 92HD79B1.
I am unable find XP driver for this.

Can you please help me out?

Regards,
Nagaraj

 

Please try THIS and let me know the result

 

ok another questions>> my n4010 cant recognize the battery in the power option (i mean when i insert my battery it keeps telling me that i am on the ac power) what should i do to fix that???or can u find quickset for n4010 xp???i cant find it anywhere,and do i have to slipstream managment engine , intel turbo and chipset when i can install them normally ??? >>>please help

 

Battery cannot be recognize under XP, this is an unresolved issue, you also need to disable "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" from Device Manager or else your CPU will keep a 20 - 25% loading at all time. No XP Quickset driver for any HM55/57 chipset laptop from Dell. Only AHCI driver needed slipstream, others can install after the OS installation.

 

so this means that i cant know if my battery is going low or not .... ok is there any program Similar to quickset i can use ???

thx

 

Hi i am unable to install video,audio and wirless drivers can some one help with that,i formated my system and installed Xp over it
i downloaded all the links but unable to install the above on my computer.

Thanks
shweatha

 

reddragon123, I am not aware of such an application, all I know is that the battc.sys and cmbatt.sys are the drivers behind this problem and they are native drivers came from Microsoft. Both Vista / Wndows 7 version of the same drivers work well without any problem.

shweatha, can you post a screen shoot of your Device Manager? Are you using N4010 or N5010?

 

Hi Thanks for your prompt response, i am using N4010, attached is the screen shot of my device manager,
its saying no compatible hardware found when i am installing wifi Drivers,can you guide me through.....


Thanks
shweatha

 

shweatha, for Audio you need to execute the "ATI HDMI DP Audio Driver 10.6_XP32-64.exe", for Dispay please follow post #3, for the WiFi Card you need to identify the module from the quotation and get back.

 

Thanks for your help but it seems therez some issue with the extraction
when i am installing Audio Driver 10.6_XP32-64.exe" i am able to instal it but finally its saying successfully installed but with few warnings the same case when i am installing display drivers as #3 its displaying msg saying " the specified location does not contain information about your hardware"

Thank you

 

For the Audio driver you can ignore the unable to install warning - it was due to you don't have .NET Framework installed so the program failed to install Catalyst Install Manager (which is not required) but the ATI HDMI Audio driver is successfully installed anyway so you should only have 2 un-identify drivers left in the Device Manager .

For the Display I've added step 7.1) to #3 please follow and try again and you should see the list of adapters, there are many entries of HD5470 within the list and please remember to choose the one with "Mobility" in the name.

Have you figure out what kind of WiFi adapter module yet?

 

Hi,
though i can play some music on my computer,in my device manager Audio device on high definition Audio bus is still showing yellow
i just ignored it as i can hear some thing but my display drivers are still not working i
think while unzipping some files are missing it seems under Ati Catalyist 10.6 drivers i am unable to see HD5470 and other files so if possible can you please upload me display drivers again separately ???
now i able to install wifi
appreciate your help.

thnks

 

What you are missing is the HDMI Audio driver but not the sound card driver so you can here the music but if you attempt to connect using HDMI cable to your other AV equipment you won't able to use it without the HDMI driver proper installed.

For the display all the adapter descriptions are inside the CX100944.inf but you won't see any file named HD5470 so did you manage to open that file?

 

yes for Video i am able to select CX100944.inf and then when i hit next its saying the specified location does not contain information about your hardware

 

Hi attached is the way i am installing the display driver and it also has the error msg its giving me while installing,please help me with this issue.

thanks,
shweatha

 

I need to see your display card's "Device Instance Id" please send me a screen shoot of it, you can shown it from Device Manager -> Right Click on the adapter then select "Properties" then click on the "Details" tab.

 

Hi Sluk

attached is the screen shot of display drivers.

 

Your card's Device Instance Id is different, are you using the HD5470 1GB version? Anyways, please replace the CX100944.INF with the attached and try again.

 

Sluk Thanks for your file,but i am not sure which video driver i am using

but when i am trying to install it with this new file CX100944 after a while its asking me for file ati2m
then i gave the path where B100667 is located its not accepting that but when i search with Ati2m its showing me that the file under B100667 folder,not sure whats happening
can you also give me that file ??

 

There are many ati2xxx but I don't think there is a file just named ati2m

It should accept the path but I've encountered it might ask many times again and again for different files, so keep on pointing it to B100667 and finally your drivers will get installed.

Below is the complete file listing of all the driver files, if all are match in your side then you have nothing left:

Hello sluk,

I have downgraded my windows 7 64 bit to windows xp on my dell inspiron N4010 laptop.I downloaded all the drivers as mentioned my you. But i am unable to find display drivers.Also what are the mandatory drivers which we need to install.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,
Ashok.

 

Display drivers are named "ATI Catalyst 10.6 Drivers Modified for Mobility HD 5470" in the "Need Manual Install" subdirectory. Basically you need to install all the drivers.

 

Hello Sluk,

I tired executing the drivers but some failed with error showing ".NET framework not installed"?

 

Hi Sluk i tried to install it in the same way below are the screens its showing
can you help me with this

 

Hi Sluk,

while installing display drover,i got the error saying no driver found for your hardware.Attached is the screen shot of display driver.

Can you please help...

 

That is the ATI Catalyst Installer, you don't need it, can be ignored, the HDMI driver should install without problem.

 

How come you got a Stealth II G460 for the display? I have not seen such an option for the N4010!

 

Probably your system is not came with HD5470, could you check the purchase quotation and tell me what kind of display card is bundle with your machine?

 

ashok4u and shweatha, for easy figure out your exact system hardware configuration could you tell me your laptop's Service Tag?

 

Sluk my service tag is : 4MVSBN1

 

Sluk my service tag is : 4MVSBN1

 

got myself a n4010, downloading those driver now, will try it out

 

here are the details :

Service Tag:JHRW5BS
SystemType:Inspiron N4010

 

ashok4u and shweatha, unfortunately your Service Tag cannot confirm the exact display card type, they can be either one of the following:

1) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
2) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
3) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v
4) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD

Could you check from your purchase order see which video card you've ordered for your laptop?

 

hey sulk this is roh i have n4010 with 1 gb ati radeon i really need ur help...........
thanx 4 drivers, they all r working fine (device manager doesn't have ny que mark sign) but my i3 is running like p3 in xp everything is slow like coping, installing.... and that trick ata to ahci is not working 4 me, have tried many dell quick set setup, none is working, n i m not able to c battery meter in right down corner panel.............
and when i install win 7 it runs very fast plz tell me what to do i dont wanna use win 7....................

 

this is my config--- core i3, 3gb ddr3 ram, 1 gb radeon HD5470 graphic card n all things r same which r in n4010, i got it in 35000 indian rs from nehru place(delhi) but its giving me hard time in running xp i mean its too slow not that much slow but i m not getting that feeling which comes when i use win 7........... but i think i had wasted my money i wont buy dell in future i shud have purchased acer as it was costing me around 30000 with same config as n4010 without graphic card...............n my frnd also have same config acer n it runs very fast in any win n d camera quality is superb...................i m sad...................plz do somthing if u can.....................

 

Sluk it seems my Display card is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
can you please send me the drivers if you have them,also i am facing the same as Camroh when i configure it xp my system is very slow and its not displaying the battery icon at the bottom.

Thanks,
Shweatha

 

shweatha & camroh, you can find the answers in #8.

I will try look for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD driver

 

shweatha, this one should fix your problem:
ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/video/R266051.exe

 

Hope my answer in #8 fixed your system slow issue.

I would like to say this is not a Dell problem, you will get the same result with Acer or whatever brand while you want to install Windows XP with the latest hardware.

 

thanks sulk but i still find my system very slow when compared to my frnds laptops, i haven't checked der chipsets (toshiba sat, acer asp) but i only no dat dey have same config n day r using xp n dey r still running faster dan mine...

but thanks nyway
regards
rohit

 

I have no performance issue under XP. Under what condition you find it slow? Did you manage to enable AHCI mode by install the SATA AHCI driver? You have to slipstreaming the AHCI drivers into the XP installation CD and enable AHCI mode in BIOS before install the OS.

 

its slow in every manner buddy for example when i copy 600 mb movie file from hard disk to pen drive it take 20-25 n sometime 30 min n like dis every thing is slow.......my desktop= core 2 duo take only 1-2 min in coping d same file so how come its faster......n u r right m not able 2 enable AHCI mode i have slipstream d driver u provided,, done every thing right (maybe)...but when i cange ATA 2 AHCI den my windows keep on restarting n BSOD also appear every time.........this is my prob..........
thanx

 

As far as disk performance is in concern, it should make no difference whether you are using AHCI or ATA mode... However, I've heard people complaint of slow performance of the whole system like yours if failed to enable AHCI in N4010 / N5010. I believe you may not successful slipstream the AHCI driver into the install CD. Did you unpack the "R264761 HM57 32Bit AHCI Driver.exe" before you attempt to slipstream? You cannot just include the .exe and expect nLite able to slipstream the driver, you have to unpack it first, and if success, nLite should prompt you to select the AHCI textmode driver, can you remember if you seen something like this while creating the install CD? If you failed to include the AHCI driver and have enabled AHCI in BIOS before the installation, you should not able to install Windows and should encountered BSOD during the install process, so I am confused why you encounter BSOD after installed Windows? Another possibility is that you forgot to enable AHCI in BIOS before OS install...

 

thanx buddy i am finally able to work properly der r no issues affecting my pc now n sry 2 bother u again n again actually it was my fault i had skipped d AHCI driver folder when i was slipstreaming...........now every thing is working fine thanx a lot... u r a genius..........

regards
rohit

 

n slow performance was occurred due to drivers conflict maybe..........yesterday i had carefully slipstream-ed d xp n now everything is fine,, thanx again.............
