[SOLVED] Ati Radeon HD 3470 has now gone??

I'm was trying to update my driver for my graphics card and was told to first uninstall the AMD catalyst thingy before installing the new one.

I did this and now my laptop isnt recognising a graphics card at all!

So needless to say the new update is not working.]

My screens resolution is lower now and not HD.

Any help would be great!

You need to download it from the Laptops manufactures website.

Re: Ati Radeon HD 3470 has now gone??

ok graphics card is back again.

I simply cannot update its driver. Ive tried everything! The AMD catalyst software installs, but i only see it updating drivers such as sound etc.. After it is finished I restart my laptop and once im back on the home screen i check my driver's date and it still says 2008.

Ati Radeon HD 3470, is there a driver package that is NOT a catalyst programme? simply a file i can click on to update it manually?

Re: Ati Radeon HD 3470 has now gone??

i have installed the correct AMD catalyst software package for my video card.

But once it has completed and i have rebooted my system the date on the video cards latest driver is still 2008.

That may be the latest driver for your card and the only update changes is to the software.
