Hi guys, just installed the Catalyst drivers on my Dell 8100 (Mobility Radeon 7500) running win98SE. Everything seems to work fine (3DMark2001, UT, GPL, N4, F1 2002 demo).
I had the last but one Omega driver installed, uninstalled them and ran the 9039 exe without rebooting. 9039 gave me an inf error but somehow finished the setup prog without freezing. After reboot it still showed the Omega driver installed. Manually installed the Catalysts by device manager. Reboot and driver version is now 9039. Although the new control panels were missing. Went to the driver folder and ran the setup.exe that I found in the CPanel folder, reboot and now I had the new control panel.
The driver are only slightly faster than the 9030 which were the fastest driver on my comp so far (9030: 4110, 9039: 4179).
One thing that I realized is that if I move the D3D main slider to the left (performance), 3DMark2001 freezes my comp during the environment bitmapping test. Any ideas?
Have fun and happy racing, GGP
EDIT: That is the 'Built be ATI' version, didn't try the 'powered by ATI' version.
