RE: http://support.amd.c...iewDrivers.aspx

can someone tell me how to install it?

the installer can't identify the existence of my display card...

my card is Radeon Mobility HD 5650 on HP ENVT 14

Thanks in advance

The problem is that it's a Mobility part. While *some* Mobility parts are supported by the Release Preview driver (the HD5450, despite appearing in both desktops and portables, is actually a Mobility part), the same is *not* true for most other Mobility HD5xxx parts.

You will likely have to run the Windows 7 driver in Compatibility Mode.

In my case, I can "install" the package succesfully. However, there is a black border in my screen which I always get when I do a fresh install. I normally go into the Catalyst Control Center to setup the scaling option, but in my case the Catalyst Control Center simply does not install on my computer. I found some "CCC.exe" file, but no matter how I launch them (admin rights, comptability mode, w/e), it just does nothing.

I am on a Asus g73jh laptop (Radeon HD 5870 mobility).

Anyone having similar problems, or found a solution?

Same problem with my dell laptop and its HD5650. I had to ad the id of the graphic card to the inf file and disable driver signature to install prior to installing the driver. The driver is working well however I don't have the catalyst center.

It's not a great driver anyway :( Some images in Windows cut off and become blocky. However for me it installed perfectly first time. It's probably because you are all mobility. It's just not supported yet, try installing the windows 7 ones maybe?

I have similar problem.I have ATI Mobility Radeon hd5650 on my Acer.The consumer preview drivers on win 8 CP worked fine and they detected my card.Now running win 8 release preview and the release preview drivers can't detect it.Both drivers support AMD mobilty radeon hd5000 series,so i don't know why they wont work now.I am using the CP drivers which work and still detect my card.Can i make the release preview drivers detect my card by changing IDs or something like Pascal Elliot Bourasseau?

In my experience, Usually when CCC won't run it hasn't been completely installed. With one exception when that's happened the fix was to start up the AMD/ATI Install Mgr., uninstall CCC, delete the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ ATI Technologies\ ATI.ACE -- C:\ Program FIles 32 bit -- & reinstall. The one exception I had required removing .NET stuff & reinstalling.

When you run the original driver setup pack everything expands into a new root folder -- a 2nd setup app runs from there. That's where you'll find the actual driver setup files, including the .inf file(s), Might also find modified drivers at Guru3D.com &/or info on modding them. Assuming you're using the latest preview drivers, might try the older version that installed successfully for you, or there was an unofficial win8 release at Guru3D, which was a modded win7 driver set -- *might* even try to use that unofficial release as a model or template on how to mod the latest preview drivers.

I have an Asus G73JH with the AMD Raedon 5870 graphics card too. My problem is that Asus hasn't updated their drivers since 2010. AMD walked me through a new driver that worked for one day, then started crashing my system. Asus told me I'm just screwed with this card and driver. What do I do?

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
