FAQ: ATI drivers Fails when trying to install.
Some of you might have encountered that when using the Resource CD or Installing drivers DL from ATI, that setup just minimizes to the task bar. When clicking on it a error msg is displayed:
Setup Failed To Run Installation.
To solve this problem do this:
1. Extract the Driver. (If you do this from the ResourceCD, and get the option where you can change the folder name to where your going to extract the files, rename it to eg. C:\ATIVideoGFX
2. When The error msg appears, just click OK.
3. Then through Device Manager double click on the Other Devices --> VGA adapter and VGA adapter #2 and update drivers manually.
Point them to the \WHERE YOU EXTRACTED THE FILE\Driver\XP_INF\
Both adapters should be updated manually.
4. Reboot system.
5. When back in windows go to this folder: \WHERE U EXTRACTED THE FILE\CPanel\
6. Double click on the SETUP.exe, And install the ATI Control Panel.
If this guide is unclear, please let me know I will try do a easier one with Screenshots or something.

what is the DirectX 9? The computer puts up an error message saying that i need that before i install the display driver.It´s a Driver/API for Windows. It´s used for Multimedia and games. You can download it here: www.microsoft.com/directx . Newer graphics drivers and sound drivers require the latest version of DirectX to work properly. It´s recommended that you download the latest, DirectX 9.0b.

Welcome to the Dell Community Forum (DCF).
I would not recommend loading the older Ati driver from the Resource CD. Click here to download the latest Ati driver and control panel file
