Unrecognized Graphics and Resolution

I was looking around and couldn't find anything relevant which is why I posted. But I obviously missed those. Thanks for the link.

Resolution, Graphics, and Audio issues have been resolved. Here's what I did:

GRAPHICS SOLUTION (by ineidzcode)

Uninstall Old Drivers using CCleaner

1. Download CCleaner
2. Shutdown ALL Catalyst Processes
   1. Right click on toolbar
   2. Click "Start Task Manager"
   3. Drag open the "Description Pane" to easily identify any Catalyst processes running
   4. Right click all Catalyst processes and click "End Process"
3. Run CCleaner
   1. Select Tools
   2. Uninstall tab
   3. Uninstall "AMD Catalyst Installer Manager"
4. Delete AMD/ATI Folders

   My Computer -> C: (windows install) -> Delete any AMD/ATI folders that relate to your display drivers...->Program Files (x86) -> Delete any AMD/ATI folders that relate to your display drivers

5. Remove current drivers
   1. Control Panel -> Device Manager
   2. Open "Display Adapters"
   3. Right click on "AMD Radeon HD * (Your Card)

      windows did not recognize my graphics card at this point so follow the steps and select "Standard VGA Adapter"

   4. Click "Uninstall"

Then

Restart your computer

Install Beta Catalyst Drivers

1. Download Beta Drivers
2. Open Download folder
3. Double click "amd_catalyst_12.1_preview_windows_vista_7.exe "
4. Walk through install wizard

Restart your computer

When you boot into Windows your resolution should be the immediate change (from your previous setting to the monitor's native resolution. Mine was 1440x1050 and changed to 1920x1080.

Try booting up a game and everything should be fine. The guide above was originally published by a SWTOR forum user "ineidzcode" (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=105045).

IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING LOW FPS... (once again from ineidzcode)

I didn't have to do this on my 2011 21.5" iMac.

Download 1 (AMD Boot Camp Drivers)*:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...camp-win7.aspx

Download 2 (Newest Catalyst Release)*:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-64.aspx

*These downloads are for my setup. Radeon HD 6770M on Windows 7 64 bit. To find your downloads, visit here. First install is your setup using MAC Graphics as a system (Step 1) and Boot Camp as a product (Step 2) followed by your card specifics. Second download is your selection as if you were on a native PC with Windows.

After you have downloaded the drivers you need, follow these instructions:

Uninstall drivers Boot Camp installed

1. Control Panel -> Device Manager
2. Drop down "Display Adapters"
3. Right click "AMD Radeon HD 6770M" (or your AMD card) and select "Uninstall".
4. Restart

Install Boot Camp Display Drivers

1. Unzip your Boot Camp Display Drivers
2. Control Panel -> Device Manager
3. Drop down "Display Adapters"
4. Right click "VGA Adapater" (adapter name may vary)
5. Select "Update Driver Software"
6. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
7. Navigate to your unzipped folder of the Boot Camp Display Drivers (my location was: Downloads\8.812-110104a-112011C-Apple.4-Win7Vista\8.812-110104a-112011C-Apple.4 -Win7Vista
8. Make sure "Include subfolders" is checked and hit Next

After Windows finishes the install, restart your computer (if it doesn't ask).

Install Catalyst Mobility

Simply install the "Catalyst Mobility Suite" (the latest drivers released from AMD, Download 2) and you should no longer get the error you were seeing before.

AUDIO FIX

I experienced zero audio output from my iMac's speakers with limited output using headphones.

1. Insert the installer disc for Snow Leopard while in Windows
2. Open the "Bootcamp" folder
3. Open the "Drivers" folder
4. Open the "Cirrus" folder
5. Double click and install the "CirrusAudioVista64" driver (or what is applicable to your system)
6. Restart your computer

If these steps don't work, uninstall the current driver by going to your Device Manager in Control Panel.
