I'm having a devil of a time getting Radeon drivers to install on Windows XP SP3.
The setup completes "successfully" but the driver is not installed afterward, and the Catalyst Control Center is not installed either.
If I then manually install the driver from the ATI directory, I get an unsigned driver warning (which I didn't get during setup), I click through that and the driver installs successfully. However, Catalyst Control Center is still not installed and no amount of reinstalling will help. I can't run without CCC because I need to enable aspect ratio scaling, etc.
I've tried this on multiple Radeon cards on 2 completely different systems, all the way up through a HD 7970. This is Catalyst 14.4, the current version on AMD's site for XP 32.
Any ideas? I would switch to nVidia but I can't use GeForce cards on this monitor because it's 2560x1440 and all GeForce cards up through at least 400 series have a bug that if you connect to a 2560x1440 monitor using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter it will interpret the PnP ID as dual-link DVI and give an "out of range" signal.
