thx in advance

Do you have an older version installed now ?
What version ?
Did you list your card description right ?
Your download is just an update,not the complete install.
Start with your cd complete version.
I also notice you have a lot running like Nortons.
First,use save to Desktop not install and close your browser and Nortons.
Then dbl click the download.
I have ATI Radion 9600,no problem updateing from 5.1

thx for ur suggestions

yes i do i an older version installed(i think its just the version before the current one) but i cant find the previous version but i did get the date of the driver whihc is 2006-12-16.
hmmm weird just couple mins ago i tried to install it again and this time worked... i didnt change any settings on my video card or anything it just worked like magic!!... lol

I wonder if your Norton anti-virus interfered. I usually turn my anti-virus off before installing programs or graphics drivers.

hmm yea that could be a possibility but i had this problem before i installed NIS 2007.

Did you have some other anti-virus program installed before? I guess my point is if an anti-virus runs an automatic scan, update or similar at the same time you are trying to install something, that could cause a problem. I'm just speculating on a possible cause since I have no way of knowing for sure.

The previous versions of all drivers is in sysdm/hardware.
I updated Tue with no problem,but heres my new driver date.
================
ATI Technologies Inc.
2/2/2007
8.342.0.0

nope i did not have any antivirus or firewall program before i installed NIS 2007. I see i get your point ty

yup mines updated, we got the same version.

Glad you got it done.Not sure if i had anything to do with the install
problem.But always use save,not install.I think it's best to close your browser and turn off Vscan temporarily as mine calls it.Fix-It.

yes sirr thx for the tip!!
