So the problem with Windows 8 64-bit installation now is, that it can't install drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon x1600, neither from Win 8 64-bit installation media, nor from Windows Update -service - it just installs generic windows display driver. MY QUESTION: Is there some problems with Windows 8 and that ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card? Why isn't the Windows 7 -version of ATI mobility radeon X1600 display driver available in Windows Update for Windows 8 too? Maybe with some ATI extra diplay manager software and C++ 2005 library, that it installed. That installed, but seems to have some problems, telling of missing library, Laptop manufacturer HP has latest, old driver for Vista (version 8.453.0.0 dated ), so I installed that, selecting compatibility mode Vista with setup-program in Windows 8. Windows 7 can install working ATI driver right from Windows Update for that graphics card (version 8.561.0.0 dated ). So not laptops native 1680x1050 screen resolution.
Only Microsoft generic display driver was installed and it offered maximum 1450x800 resolution, Installation succeeded perfect, except Windows 8 couldn't install, nor did find from Windows Update display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card.
I just installed Windows 8 Enterprise Trial version on HP nx9420 laptop (2GHz dual core prosessor, 4gb memory, ATI Motility Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256mb own memory, 1680x1050 native display resolution) on second partition, side by side with existing
