Hello,I want to thank you for viewing that post and help me figure out that problem.Im new to this forum and i have to admit thats its very well organised and with plently usefull posts.So lets begin.Before 12.4 version i had 12.2 and the ATI Catalyst updated the client to 12.4 and since of that i had bug problems with many games Such as San Andreas League Of Legends and the Walking Dead.The main problem-bug is that people(in GTA and Walking Dead)are corrupted and they have gaps in many parts of their body and sometimes holes.In LOL the ''crips'' leave a big black stripe behind them and i can admit that this is very annoying.Here i will post an image of San Andreas so you can understand what i say.

Try CCC 12.6?
 
When you get a chance fill out your System Specs in your Profile. What card are you using?
 
What card are you using? If you are using 6xxx series and below the best driver I have found is the 11.11C performance driver. This has been the best I have found with my 6950 2gb along with my 5770's and 5850.
 
Thanks for the fast reply.I have an HP Notebook with AMD Athlon II Dual Core proccessor 2.30 ghz 4gb RAM win7 64bit and my GPU is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series
 
CCC 12.6 is a beta as i know i tried several times to download it first from Catalyst client as an update(FAILED)and i tried to download it from ATI Site.I done it install it and again the same.I unstall the drivers 3 to 5 times and again the same happened.Im desperate i dont know what to do.I hope you can help me:(
 
Can you please do this:
  • run device manager by pressing Windows + R, write devmgmt.msc and press enter
  • select your graphic card, it should be under graphic cards or display adaptors;
  • right click it, go to properties, select the details tab, and on the combo box below select hardware id;
  • copy the first line, or take a screen-shot, and paste here;

I'll mod the drivers so you'll be able to install them manually.

Please note that as i said previously i tried to update catalyst from 12.4 to 12.6 by 2 ways Firstly as the Catalyst client informed me to update to the new version(FAILED its still 12.4) and secondly i tried manually by going to ATI's site to download the 12.6 version and install it but THIS also failed its STILL 12.4 .So i hope this will work because the other ways was not so effective.Also I want to thank you for all this HELP :) :) The Image :

You wouldn't be able to install the 12.6's anyway they don't support cards below the 5xxx series now. The 12.4 would be the last ones that would have official support.
 
HD 4200 try catalyst 11.x
 
He means any of the AMD/ATI drivers that are version 11.x, until recently AMD/ATI did monthly driver updates, using the first digits (11) for the current year, and second digit (.x) as the corresponding month. For example, the latest drivers that came out are the 12.6 drivers mean they are for June (6) of the year 2012 (12).
 
I found the Driver 11.7 and as i saw is compatible with my Ati radeon 4200.I will downloaded and install it and i will tell you if the bug it's still exists.
 
OK, now try this:
  • extract the files from this attached zip to
    Code:
    C:\AMD\AMD_Catalyst_12.4b_Hotfix_win7\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
  • open device manager and select your graphic card (like instructed on the post above);
  • right click on it and select update device driver:
  • then click on search driver on computer -> allow me to select a driver from the list... -> click on the disk button -> select the .inf that should be on the folder where you extracted the .zip to -> select your graphic card from the list and let it install (if a "red" window appears, select install anyway)
If your graphic card does not appear on the list, let me know and I'll modify the .inf again. Also check if the installing process completed successfully.

thank for help me explain to him :)
p/s : if you got HD 6000 or above , you would use 12.x
but VGA onboard as HD 4200 should use driver version 11.x or older, it can help your PC stable, no more bugs
sorry, i have bad English :(

I was already using 12.7 beta for my HD 6850, it's good :)

Latest is not always the greatest with AMD drivers based on what card you may have.
Ever since ATi actually.
