HD 4850 Detection Driver Failure
When you run the Catalyst installation program for the new drivers,
regardless of whether the installation was ultimately successful, the files should have been extracted to a folder on your hard disk. By default it should be C:\ATI\SUPPORT\8-12_blahblah. Confirm the driver files are there. Uninstall your current Catalyst Control Center and ATi display driver through Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. Upon reboot the system will default to a very low resolution. A dialog box should automatically pop up asking for drivers. Point the dialog box to the folder where the driver files were previously extracted. Since the 4850 is dual-head, Windows may detect a second display device and ask for drivers a second time. Point the dialog box to the same folder as before (basically installing the same files twice). -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
