the one you told me to dl, 197mb.. after installed, the 11.6 driver still prevent me to install...
sorry for my bad english

Prevent how? Do the following to get the Catalyst version:

1. Right click on Desktop
2. Select Graphic Properties
3. Click information, software.

Parse those info here. Will help us to know which version of Catalyst that is already installed.

I can guide you step by step.

i think they installed CCC 1st b4 intel driver.. long time ago i also thought install CCC 1st.. they all din followed correct order!

Driver Packaging Version 8.771.1-100909a-121057C-Acer
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1071
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0001
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0779
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.10188
Catalyst™ Control Center Version 2010.0909.1412.23625

here...

this is old driver!

good, it looks like you have successfully install the latest Acer driver (8.771). the next step is just to install Catalyst 11.6

Just in case, make sure you are 64 bit OS, and you have download this correct Catalyst driver:

http://www2.ati.com/DriVeRs/mobile/11-6_mo..._dd_ccc_ocl.exe

This file is just 86.8Mb.

Double click on that file after download and install Catalyst 11.6. Chose Custom when asked. Make sure you see Catalyst driver in the list. If not, post the screen shot of what you can chose to install.

thankks ^^, now going to save my desktop... cowith never thinks of changing a new lappy?

may be next year. there is no notebook that is as light and as powerful as this 3820tg i m using currently.

got.. ps3slim!

assuming it comes with LCD and ps3 can run vmware and stuff, it is still heavier (3.2kg) than my 3820tg (1.8kg)...

ps3 now quite light with SSD inside it..

3.2kg is for ps3 slim

my lappy already 2.7 kg w/o adapter + external hdd + zalman + 2 game pad

hi cowith, successfully installed, but the switchable graphic option still missing,

OK.

Question: Are you in Switchable graphic mode in BIOS?

yes i am, what i mean is, it used to be a option regarding whether to change gc when unplug and plug in, i hope you got what i mean, hahaha, but it's gone now...

sorry if i m asking really basic question, we want to cover everything.

what if you right click on the desktop? Can you see "Configure switchable graphic" ?

can you see something like this?

yup, i could see it, what i mean is.. there's should be an option in the middle of the option about unplug and plug

can i rephrase your question;

you can switch graphic between High-Performance and Power-Saving right?

but you want it to automatic when you plug and remove AC power?
