ATI Mobility Modder

Sometimes Laptop manufacturers want full control over their users experience, and will force the use of their own drivers (and disable the card manufacturer's drivers). This sucks a lot, and if your laptop manufacturer doesn't release new drivers with new operating systems, then you're forced to use an older version of the operating system.

## Download MSXML 6.0 from Microsoft. (Default in Vista) - Install.

### Step 2 is VISTA ONLY

## Make sure UAC control in Vista is turned off. If you don't know how to do this then read this guide (method 4 is the easiest) 
## or click the "disable UAC" in Mobility Modder.net - please note you MUST reboot after disabling UAC. If you ## don't want it 
## disabled permanently, you can turn it back on after our mobility tool has finished, but it won't mod the drivers correctly with UAC ON.

## Download the newest desktop drivers from www.ati.com (or get them from Driver Heaven Downloads). If you are using Windows XP 
## make sure to download .net framework from Microsoft (this is built into Windows Vista so there is no need to install it).

## Run the downloaded driver, let it extract into c:/ATI/SUPPORT - but cancel the installation once the driver is extracted.

## Run Mobility Modder - browse to the driver in C:ATI/SUPPORT/ - an example of Catalyst 7.4 would be C:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-4_vista32_dd_ccc_enu_44985 
## - hit modify. Wait until driver is modified.

## In Vista, go to C:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-4_vista32_dd_ccc_enu_44985 (Or whatever the driver installation folder was called), and run the SETUP.EXE. 
## Please note you might see a "Driver is not WHQL certified", ignore this, as it is a side effect of the modification.

## Wait until Install is finished and reboot. Enjoy the new drivers!
