Demo - unusual graphics problem

[Drumsfellow]

Hi,

I have been doing some digging in the reports from the compatiblity test and 3200 is confirmed to work for Win Vista 64, Win 7 64, OSX and Linux 32bit.

As far as I can see, this problem only affects users Win XP 32 bit. Is this correct? (if not would be nice if someone replied in this thread).

In any case, it seems to me that this is bound to be a driver problem.

Checking your output code from the compatiblity test, it report that you are using drivers version:
2.1.7770 Release

This is really old drivers and I am 99% sure this is the problem

I would suggest you try and the drivers here:
http://www.amd.com/se/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx

Hope that helps!

(Yes, I do have Win XP 32 bit.)

I'm guessing you're right about the drivers, but I've already tried updating them. I presume I'm doing something wrong.

At the link you gave me, I select "Notebook Graphics -> Mobility Radeon Series -> Mobility Radeon HD 3xxx Series -> Windows XP - 32 bit", and that leads me to this page:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pag...ility.aspx

And from there, I go to the HP page for notebooks, find my notebook model, and download the drivers for the graphics.

This is what I did last time, I wrote about it in one of my previous posts:

I tried reinstalling the drivers; this time, I downloaded them from the notebook manufacturer page (as recommended here). I have an HP Compaq 6735s.
I downloaded the graphics drivers for my specific notebook model, for Windows XP (32 bit). This is the driver pack.

I first removed the old drivers, along with the Catalyst Control Center (which I haven't been able to open for quite some time now; I right-click on the desktop, and when I click on the CCC, I get an error message saying that the Control Center cannot be opened). After installing the drivers from the link above, I reinstalled the Demo (restarting the computer after each uninstall and install).

I still cannot open the Catalyst Control Center, and the game still doesn't work properly.

These are the drivers I downloaded and installed the last time, they're supposed to be the newest available for my HP notebook model:

I'm guessing they're not, since you say they're really old. But I don't know where to find newer drivers. Could you help me more directly with that?

Thanks for your help so far, I don't really know much about drivers.


EDIT: Ok, I think I may have found some drivers that might work. I'll post when I try them out.
