    Hi all. Well this card has me completly lost @ this point. I've tried the 9.9 SW. I am running Win7 pro 64. Tried to get by with the MS supplied driver. Tried the 9.10 from amd/ati. Called Dell. Utterly useless. I do not want to have to use a modifier if I can avoid it. Not a gamer. Just want hue, saturation contorl etc.
    These installs all, in the end, fail. I am told by my screensaver that I do not have Dirx 9 3d installed!
    Dell has a driver suite for the 3670 but it clicks through to the 4670 :mad:
    I found this in my email from Dell this morning-

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Release Date: 10/12/2009
    Version: 8.631.0.0000, A09
    Download Type: Driver
    File Format: Hard Drive
    File Size: 107 MB
    Can anyone verify if this is the 3670? Has anyone managed to get their card work ing with a clean install of 7 on Studio XPS 1640? Please let me know how you did this. I have been through 4 reinstalls from this damn sw blowing up on me. If it has to be the modifying tool then ok. I find this ridiculous considering the Catalyst suite worked perfect for me on a lot of beta builds & the RC. But if someone can explain how to do this great. I really think the cost of this laptop should mandate actual support from Dell,ATI etc. Not the "It's their fault." attitude I am gettting from every company on this.
    Really, Really apreciatte help on this.

    Sincerly frustrated to the point of stroke,
    J23

    Is there anybody out there? Enter A minor chord. One person who can @ least direct me to a person or place that can show me how to install the CCC plus driver suite. Any version? Hell I'm thinking about giving 9.4 a try. Worked on the Beta. That can't be all Dell & ATI has left us with? Can it? Ma how's old Yeller?
    Seriously...help.
    Regards,
