ATI desktop Driver on Laptop

If you try to install ATI desktop drivers for laptop, you will get an error. That is because the software will not allow laptop uses to update their ATI drivers. What they will be left with is to always check on their laptop manufacturer's driver page for any ATI graphic updates. Chances are slim though. I don't think you can update your laptop ATI driver by using ATI desktop graphic drivers. What you need is actually a modder software to fool the ATI graphic driver to install it on your laptop, thinking that it is a desktop and not a laptop.

What is required to do so is to download the latest catalyst driver from the ATI website and then download modder for ATI. After downloading the ATI driver, extract it into a folder but do not install it. Fire up the ATI modder and it will patch the ATI driver. After patching the driver, double click on the installation to start installing the newest Catalyst driver on your laptop!!! It works!!!
