Chapter 3
Drivers and Software Installation
This chapter describes the installation of the drivers and software associated with
your ATI FireMV/ATI FirePro graphics card.
ATI Drivers and Software
Drivers are small but important programs that enable an operating system to
communicate with a piece of hardware, such as a graphics card.
When you install a new graphics card, you must also install the driver and
configuration software the card requires to function properly.
You also need to install (or reinstall) your ATI FireMV/ATI FirePro drivers when
you have reinstalled or upgraded your operating system or when you install
updated drivers from ATI's Web site.
Note: When reinstalling drivers, always uninstall any previous drivers
that are on your system, even if they are for the same graphics card.
Always start "fresh."
Microsoft .NET Framework
ATI Catalyst Control Center requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to function.
If you install your ATI software using a product's installation CD, Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0 will be installed automatically. If you download and install ATI
software from the Internet, however, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 will not be
installed. If it is not already on your system, you must download and install
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 from Microsoft's Web site before you install
ATI Catalyst Control Center.
You can check to see if Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is installed on your system
by looking for it in the Add and Remove Programs dialog.
Linux Drivers
Linux drivers are not included on the installation CD-ROM. Linux drivers and
software are available from the ATI Web site at ati.amd.com/support .
