Hey again. Seems like I am coming to drink from the well of knowledge here every other day!
I'm encountering something of an odd problem with my i7 iMac running Windows 7 x64. I really miss the ease-of-use that I had with the nvidia control panel on my 24-inch iMac. Enter ATI's card in my new iMac. I did the two-monitor install method (thankfully a friend of mine was moving and I was able to borrow the monitor for an afternoon while his apartments was dissembled) and used Apple's bootcamp drivers to install...the boot camp drivers. As I sort of expected, there was no ATI icon waiting for me in the control panel when I looked. So I did what I did on my other iMac and sought the latest vendor drivers for my card. Given that ATI's "BootCamp" section of their support downloads covers only Windows XP, I decided to download the 4800-series drivers for Windows 7 x64.
They claim to install properly but I see no control panel and no additional options regarding my card. So I am forced to conclude that there are to be extraordinary methods undertaken here. The problem is that I am unsure what they are.
Will uninstalling the drivers totally lead me back to having a black display like I got during the installation before I had the second monitor?
tl;dr
I want an ATI Catalyst control panel for my i7 Windows 7 x64 install with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 card in it. What do I do? If a method worked for you, how was it done?
Thanks, as always,
