Because of a legal position with Laptop Manufactures, ATI/AMD no longer provide the Latest Radion Mobility Drivers (Although they are actually there), they have put a block in the installation Software from the ATI site. As most of you are aware almost all OEM Laptop manufactures are very slow at giving you the latest ATI Radion Mobility Drivers.

I use a fantastic freeware tool by driverheaven, which removes the block in the ATI Radion drivers on the ATI/AMD Radion site, for example I have the X700 Mobility PCI-e card in my laptop, so I used this tool to convert the latests drivers from ATI to allow installation on my laptop and thus get all the latest driver improvements. The tool works for both Vista and XP and they are constantly improving the software. They provide full instructions on how to convert the installation, which is very easy, couple of clicks and its converted ready for you to install the latest ATI Mobility Drivers.

Here is a link to the site.
