    I am having issues with the catalyst mobility 12.2 driver on my M15x. I want to roll back to the catalyst mobility 12.1 Win7 x64 driver

    12-1_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe

    but I am unable to download it from AMD. Can someone give me a link or upload it to a secure download location so that I can download it? Please help me, I have not been able to find the 12.1 driver anywhere on the web.

    With all due respect, you didn't look very hard.

    Are you facing the same problem as the one below?

    Yes, M17x is completely different from M15x, but the lack of confidence in AMD Mobility Catalyst Drivers 12.2 causes me to be hesitant in installing this driver. Plus, I am not competent enough to determine whether it is stable enough to be used.

    ______
    For those who want to install AMD Mobility Catalyst Drivers 12.2, released on 3/7/2012:

    Direct Link to Offline Installer, 12-2_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe, 157.72 MB: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/DRIVERS/mobile/12-2_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe, or www2.ati.com/drivers/mobile/12-2_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe

    Link To Online Installer And Individual Component Download: ATI Catalyst Mobility Display Driver

    AMD Catalyst™ 12.2 Release Notes

    The link ( ATI Catalyst Mobility Display Driver) provides the download for the online installer, which is in turn downloads the very same offline installer as mentioned. So, just download the offline installer, and skip the unnecessary step of downloading online installer. :D
