Stick to the legacy drivers from Catalyst.
The current driver only supports from HD 5XXX series and up.

 

Hi

Which legacy drivers are you referring too please

If I go on the Catalyst site, drivers & support do I select the W7 version or W8

Eitherway if I go into either and view 'supported products' my graphics card is not supported, I am confused as to which legacy driver set I should use

 

Did you disobey the Windows 10 updater in that the card would not work with Windows 10?

If the system is that old, you shouldn't be running Windows 10.

 

No
Windows 10 works but resolution is distorted with screen fuzzy with display not clear, it was crystal clear on windows 7?

 

You can try to install the latest AMD driver for that GPU, but unlikely there is one for Windows 10.

 

Thanks will give this a try.

 

I don't care for yet another account on yet another random forum, but I had the same problem as OP. Just fixed it 10 minutes ago, too.

1) Basically, download the legacy Catalyst 10-2 drivers from the AMD drivers page.

2a) Right click the installer and change to Vista compatibility mode.
2b) Set it to run as administrator while you're in there.

3) Install. Enjoy.

 

Thank you for that, basically the same as the call I made in post #2.

 

Repetition was unintended. Installing legacy drivers without compatibility mode and as admin didn't really do anything. Installation would say it completed successfully but the resolution wouldn't change and everything would remain blurry.

And an update: I tried Borderlands and hardware acceleration works. Runs great.

 

Thanks do you have a link for the borderlands / hardware acceleration?

 

Also via device manager would you expect to see the graphics card listed?

It did on W7 but not shown in W10

Is this typical on W10?

 

Are there any other yellow or red call outs in device manager?

I'm thinking perhaps you need to install the motherboard chipset drivers

 

There's really only the one option. No Win 7 or 8 options since there are no legacy drivers for this card on those operating systems.

See the linked image. It results in downloading the following file: 10-2_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc.exe

Thanks for response

I have ran the installer, compatibility as Vista, ran as Administrator and get this message after installation :

'this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panel'

Installer prompts to reboot, it does and graphics are then no different?

Thinking of going back to W7! Graphic display is a nightmare!:sad:

:banghead: :angry: :banghead:

 

A system with that specification should have never been given Windows 10 to begin with.

 

Yes I have Win 10 and everything functions, the reason it does not see your card is because it's on the PCI express root port you don't have a driver installed for.
You'll fine the PCIe port drivers are part of the motherboard chipset package.

What brand and model motherboard is it or if not a custom build brand and model of the PC?

 

Asus 4coredual-sata2 motherboard
Can't find PCI drivers?

 

The 4coredual-sata2 would be a Asrock board that uses a Via PT800 chip set designed for Pentium
Is your video card AGP or PCIe?(your motherboard has both slots hence the Dual designation)

The newest drivers for that board are for Vista and since Via stopped making motherboard chip sets very soon after this board was made I doubt you'll see any newer ones.

The latest VIA Hyperion Pro Driver Package 5.24 is for Vista 64 bit located here> http://download.viatech.com/DriverDownloadSubmitAjaxSvl
It may or may not work on Windows 10 you'll need to download it and try running the setup.exe file by right clicking and selecting compatibility mode for Vista.

I appreciate your support, thank you

Will give this a shot

 

The install wizard says 'sorry,the install wizard can't find the proper component for the current platform'

 

Try checking the box at the bottom "Run this program as an administrator".

If still no good then I would assume the drivers need to run Win 10 just are not available for that motherboard.

 

Tried that.
Coming to the conclusion W10 is not compatible with my desktop, perhaps roll back to W7 is on the cards
Thanks again

 

If I upgraded my card to a compatible W10 card would this fix my issue or would my motherboard still be an issue?

Don't really want to upgrade board and card

 

I think the VIA chipset motherboard would still be an issue.
