i have an ASUS g73jh laptop with win7 premium 64bit ati radeon 5870. i can't seem to get the benchmark to run. i installed the direct x 9. ive updated my bios to ver 209. i am almost certain i have the latest version of my graphics card driver. last time i tryed to install 10.6 i ran into problems but when i did a scan to see if i could even upgrade my pc said i have the latest version. so i am completely stumped as to why i cannot run this benchmark
I have the Asus G73JH with the same specs as you and had a similar issue. Here is what I did:
1. Uninstall the old ATI Catalyst control/drivers.
2. Install the new ATI Catalyst Suite (http
/game.amd.com/it-it/drivers_catalyst.aspx or http
/ati.amd.com/support/driver.html). The most current version is 10.8.
This should at least allow you to run the benchmark program. In my experience, you always need to uninstall old ATI drivers before you install the new ones.
