Please do NOT refer me to other threads. I posted this thread for personal help...which I obviously need. This is my story:
I recently got an error in a game (There.com) that my graphics driver was outdated. I went to the site, downloaded it and I got an error about my VIDEO driver...Something like it wasn't there, or somethng...:S So anyway, I figured I needed to update my driver. I went to the site you specified for windows xp and well, I also went onto my driver thing on my control panel, and it said it was Mobility Radeon 7500. That wasnt on the list...So I don't know. Under "Display Adapters" There was only 1, the Mobility radeon 7500...Is there supposed to be 2? The video and graphic adapters? God, I'm SO confused...Please, I hope someone can help me. Here's a screenshot.

The display adapter is your video card, no there is not supposed to be 2.

Your 7500 is no longer officially supported by ATI. You need older drivers since the newer ones won't work. Visit http://www.omegadrivers.net/archive.php, you need the driver 3rd from the top. Read Chaz's guide if you need more help.
The bigger question I have is: why would you play toontown? -

LOL, I had the same question.
Toontown looks like a failure of a game, no offense...
Why would you even need a video card to play it, hahahah. -
maybe he's a younger kid..or someone that still enjoys those types of games i guess..i dunno
-
OMG stop talking about me
And i'm a GIRL. I enjoy playing because it's a stupid little game to do when you're bored. So there. Off-Topic posters!

Umm...The page you gave me lithus is just news and stuff :S
-
Ha, stupid URL auto switches to main page...
Click on ATI Radeon, then Archive, then 3rd one down. -

Jeez, do we have to spoonfeed you? lol...
http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati.php
Choose your OS at the top of the page and you should get a download link. -
The thing is, that won't work. You actually have to hit up their archive since the main download page is only for most current drivers.
BTW, your URL did the same thing. -
Ok...While you guys were posting away I WAS looking around for it myself, and the download page for windows xp drivers is about a billion downloads and I have no idea what to download....
-
Great, 'spose they're all gone now. -sigh-
And I need help ASAP =\
Lots of the stuff I go on will either not work or work very poorly -
Read the 1st page again. I answered your question, twice.
-
UGH I wasn't talking about that page. On the windows xp page, theres ANOTHER website it gives a link to which has literally a thousand or 2 download links...
Sorry, I misread your directions and went on the wrong page accidentally. -
Wait....so I download Radeon Omega Drivers 3.8.252 (Catalyst 6.5)?
And also...before I do this do I have to uninstall "Ati Display Driver?"
Im sorry...im just EXTREMELY scared about messing up my laptop. -
This is as simple as I can put it:
1. download your new drivers (v3.8.252 or older)
2. uninstall your old drivers
3. install your new drivers -
Ugh...Thanks for your help I guess...The only thing I need help with now is what specifically I uninstall before I install that new driver thing.
-
Please, can someone just tell me what to uninstall ? I go to add and remove programs and of course there is no "mobility radeon 7500" So what do I uninstall?
In need of help with updating my video driver
