ATI Radeon 4350 question with Windows 7 ..
JoeB:
OK. Purchased a brand new Asus silent 6450 from a local computer store.
Will try it out tonight.
Calamity:
Great. Remind that for the HD 6450 you need to use the VGA output, the DVI is digital only.
JoeB:
This is really frustrating.. :(
- uninstalled drivers, reset back to non-test mode
- put 6450 card into PC
Windows 7 x64 detected it as "Generic VGA card". Windows Media Player still shows black screen on MP4.
- Went to AMD web site. Downloaded latest official driver for it (AMD-Catalyst-15.7.1-Without-DOTNet45-Win7-64bit). Installed driver.
Windows Media Player plays mp4 files perfectly.
- Installed crt_emudriver_&_tools_2.0_beta_8_12.6_W.7.8.10-64 on top of this. Rebooted just fine. Shows the high res on my LCD screen.
Windows media player back to black screen, Hyperspin green screen. Flash (using latest flash driver) plays fine in web browser with / without hardware acceleration.
So I didn't even bother with VMMaker. Standard LCD screen doesn't even work in standard 1024x768 resolution. So If I spend the next 6 hours reinstalling windows 7, redownloading the 235 security patches, what are the changes that magically it's going to start working?? :(

I suspect the presence of newer versions of leftover libraries installed by Catalyst is what breaks video acceleration for CRT Emudriver. You can't remove them unless you format the hard drive.
A full Windows 7 reinstall, format included takes 15-20 mins on my old P4, conventional HDD. Leave security updates for a later moment.
JoeB:
UPDATE:
- Formatted C:
- Install Windows 7 x64 SP1 professional
- Verified windows only saw "Generic display driver" when 6450 is plugged in
--> Windows media player can play mp4 files
- Ran the crt_emudriver_&_tools_2.0_beta_8_12.6_W.7.8.10-64 setup program
- Told me it needs to go into TEST mode and rebooted
- Ran setup again - updated Generic driver to "AMD Radeon HD 7400 Series CRT Emudriver - WDDM V1.20. Required a reboot
- Came back from reboot
--> Windows media player can not play mp4 files - black screen
So .. the driver does not work with the 6450 (not sure why it's reporting it as 7400)
The card is: Asus EAH6450 SILENT/DI/1Gd3(LP)
**sigh**
