    I have a pretty old AGP card ATI x800 XT and it just won't work. I have installed the latest 9.5 drivers for vista 32bit and every time I launch games it says my drivers are still out of date. I have the windows 7 build 7100. Is there some special way to make the update work? Is my card dead? What other ways can I test for the problem?

    Hello Karizzma,

    Thank you for posting.  You will have to use the default Windows 7 Video card drivers, because ATI no longer has new drivers that support your card.  Catalyst 9.4 and 9.5 drivers do not support your card.  They don't support mine and I have the Radeon x1950 pro.  You might be able to try the older Vista drivers as Windows 7 will also use most Vista drivers as well.

    Please let me know if this helps you.
