Vista-Ati generic driver extraction

jmacie · Nov 18, 2008, 02:39 PM

I have a laptop with dx8 video. I use un-aeroed Vista x86 with Microsoft's generic Ati wddm driver. I loaded w7 -6801. w7 only gives me a generic vga driver, and I can't get a 1440 X 900 display size, only 800 X 600 to 1024 X 768. Is there any way to extract the generic ati vista driver from vista install disk? I tried a few different things, including upgrade over vista to w7, but it still gives me generic vga driver. ATI and toshiba stopped supporting my laptop immediately after I bought it. Specs: P35-s611 with mobility 9100 igp. Any help would be appreciated, thx jm

I made a seperate folder of all the driver dll's etc. from the driver detail files in vista, then just updated driver file manually in w7, like the old days in 95,98,xp. , and it worked.
