Z61p Windows 7 Graphic

[mjuni]

Hello,

I would like to install Windows 7 on my Z61p notebook but I can't find a graphic ATI driver compatible for Windows 7. Please help.

Thank you!

Hi Mjuni,

Did you try here?

I have the same problem. Looking for a 256MB ATI FireGL V5200 driver for Windows7 64bit.

The AMD support site offers drivers only for other FireGL versions.

The www-307.ibm.com site that magicmermaid referred to above lists nothing useful. The ATI Display Driver listed there is highly obscure. I dont know what has changed after installing that 100MB file. The graphic board driver installed still is one from June 2006 for a "Standard VGA-Graphic-Board 16 MB".

Where's the proper driver???

You are right robg...

I can't find the Windows 7 driver for ATI Catalyst Control Center.

I don't understand why Lenovo would not be on top of this... it's a real turn off.

UPDATE:

Guys, do you think the drivers on this link contain everything to upgrade system for Windows 7?

Have you tried Vista driver for Fire GL 5200/5250

thanks for all your help guys! ajkula66's advice has helped!  Not sure if running a vista driver on 7 is the perfect solution but it works for now.

Not that once the driver is updated one must re-assess the windows experience index in order to enjoy the aero glass effects. Looks brilliant.

Thanks guys!
