Error when downloading AMD Catalyst Software

dmx · 03:12 PM

Edit: Solved. Found link on 6750m overclocking thread which allowed me to download updated drivers.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit under boot camp with my 2011 Macbook pro (6750m).

I'm trying to update the graphics drivers (currently 8.812).

When I try to install the AMD Catalyst software,(http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-64.aspx), I receive an error: AMD Catalyst mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter.

Any ideas?

I deleted the Windows partition and reinstalled Windows 7 (fresh install). Still having the problem...

Can you post the link I seem to be running into the same problem!
Also what software does anyone recommend to monitor GPU CPU Battery temperatures on windows 7.
I'm always playing games on my windows 7 like Battlefield 2 and CoD and I haven't noticed my machine get toooo hot, but I am curious as to what it is at, and compare it with others.
Thank you
