You need to look for what others do to install ATI Catalyst -

Try uninstalling any ATI program, graphic driver (uninstall, don't disable!) so that you can restart and let Windows enable the device, and try again.

Look at Driver Sweeper from Guru3D to 'sweep' drivers for graphics, audio and others.

Not sure why or if BC 3.2 helps.

Your 5750 should work, be sure to run WEI so that Aero works.

Solved 🙂

Boot your Mac to windows (Hold "alt" after pressing the on switch then use the arrow keys and return to select the windows side) Insert the OSX 10.6.5 installation disk and open Boot camp and select setup and install boot camp on the windows side if you have a new 10.6.5 this should come with all the updates, if not download the correct update from:

Restart and it all should work yay
