    For some reason the 9.3 drivers dont seem to be installing on my Studio 15 =/

    I've tried mobility modder and it doesnt work. Should I keep trying to install the 9.3 drivers or is another version optimal instead?

    I did what you told me to do (replacing the file with the one in the zip) and using the have disk method, and it says the driver was installed successfully, but when I reboot my resolution still looks huge =(

    if you want to change the screen resolution just right click on the desktop, the select personalize, then display settings and adjust to what you like.

    It`s because nobody has successfully modded 9.3 to work with notebooks 100% yet, as ATI only provides desktop drivers, we have to trick the system to get it to work, also no catalyst control center until somebody manages to get it to work.

    Have you tried running 3dmark06 to see if your score has increased?
