    I'm wondering if anyone running Windows 7 on a T60p with the FireGL V5250 card has managed to install a later version of the driver than that available via Windows Update (i.e. 8.561)? With Vista, I was able to use MobilityModder to install the latest version available from ATI-- currently 8.583-- however, using the same method with Win7, Catalyst installs correctly, but the driver itself does not (I get a warning in the ATI install log).

    If anyone has managed to install a later driver with the Modder tool in Win7, I'm curious which specific ATI driver package was used.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    i have the same problem as you. catalyst installs but the driver does not.

    then again, i have switchable graphics and that may be the reason why...
