1341563 2013-05-16 08:02:00 Go to the manufacturer's site, see if there are any updates. Driver magician is pretty good. (http://www.drivermagician.com/) Altho it can pick up drivers that dont work as well. I found this out, when I downloaded one, and it stopped half way while it was installing.

And hung windows when I went to shut down. So, I uninstalled it

1341565 2013-05-16 14:35:00 I don't like them and wouldn't recommend using them. If everything is working drivers are best left alone, if they do need updating getting them individually from the manufacturers website is best. One possible exception is video drivers which I update regularly for the performance improvements. dugimodo (138)

This. Windows Update also tends to pick up graphics drivers so if everything is working, leave them alone.

No! just no.
Avoid 3rd party driver updaters like the plague.

1341569 2013-05-29 08:54:00 ok. the thing is because I got this email form Ashampoo showing this trial of Advanced Driver Updater. It showed updates for Chipsets and AHCI controllers. That is why. Also my laptop's harddrive failed completely and I had to get a new one. I then did a clean install of Windows 8 Enterprise. I can't play games like FIFA Manager 13 because I need Hardware Graphics Acceleration. I do have a AMD Radeon 6450 (I think) however I can't get catalyst control center and it doesn't even show up in Device Manager. I have a HP G6-1210TX Please help? :( har (16834)
1341570 2013-05-29 09:44:00 Why can't you get catalyst control centre?
On HP's website try h10025.www1.hp.com
On AMD's try support.amd.com

I found this in about 2 mins by googling the model number you posted. It's an HP laptop so HP's website is the first place to start.

1341571 2013-05-31 02:59:00 I got it from the HP website and installed it. It installed but it won't open Catalyst Control as it says there is nothing to configure. I tried to install it using the Update Driver option under Device Manager but that didn't work either. I went to the AMD website and downloaded the software and it said I have incompatible hardware. I haven't tried the game yet. I'll see if that at least is working. har (16834)
