Have an Advent 7096 laptop with integrated ATI Radeon Express 200M
graphics, XP Media Center with all updates.
Installed these newer drivers:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/integrated-xp
During install was informed I needed NET Framework 2 which I downloaded
and
installed after the graphics drivers.
I now have something called Catalyst Control Centre in my Programs list.
I
have no idea what this is because I get an error trying to open it.
Posted the error here:
http://download.yousendit.com/E3F0B6A57E1FE9C7
Also I have laptop connected to large screen LCD TV via 15 pin D-Sub. All
I
am getting on the TV screen is the desktop wallpaper, no icons, taskbar or
anything else.
ATI driver package also installed something called Steam. Googling it
seems
this has something to do with gaming which I have no interest in.
Should I have installed NET Framework before the drivers?
Should I just go back to the old drivers?
All I want to do is see on the TV screen what's on the laptop screen.
Any advice appreciated, the laptop manual says nothing about multiple
displays and couldn't find a manual for the graphics on ATI site.

Don't know if you are aware but it is always a good idea to install GPU
driver updates from the manufacturers site and not from any other source -
especially not Microsoft's.
Ati have a very precise and detailed download regime and if you get any
problems they have a good 'ticket' system for troubleshooting.
Well, they did when I last had an ATi GPU - three years ago.
Plus the Cat part has an instant feedback if that causes a problem.
In addition, did you by any chance get an Ati driver update offered for PCI
Express card - that has caused problems in that you cannot go back to
previous, or uninstall what you got? especially to those who allow updates
to dl/install auto.
