What Windows are you using? If 8, then run the installer with Windows 7 compatibility mode and the driver will install.
so whats the latest package i can install for my ati 4870 to run at best performance with latest drivers on xp sp3 ?
If you don't run anything that needs CAL routines, any of the drivers from AMD above 12.1 should work, give the latest 13.1 a try, or even the beta 13.2, it really depends on what you want the graphics card for, gaming, general use, or scientific calculations. Start with the beta, if that doesn't work for you, drop to the next lower version, repeat until you find the one that does what you want.
actually i want to play DmC, im playing it but feeling that my GPU isn't doing great as it should be. feeling some jerks and some parts not loading up properly ! so thats why asking which driver is best suitable for XP sp3 since ruslu just said that 13.1 legacy aren't compatible with XP. so i want to have my gpu with latest possible drivers compatible with XP SP3, thanks
I think Ruslu ment the 13.1 that was modded by kevin. The 13.1 from amd reached via the links posted in the sticky section of this forum link to the xp version and it installed fine on mine, but since it doesn't have the CAL routines, I had to go back to an earlier version. If that is the version you were having trouble installing, I would recommend rerunning the install, sometimes they don't always succede on the first attempt.
This is the second time i ran and this is what error it gave me this time Catalyst™ Install Manager Installation Report 02/08/13 16:12:11 Hardware information Name AMD Radeon Graphics Processor Manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Just try to install the original 13.1 Legacy, that is supported by XP: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=374563 13.1 Reloaded doesn't work on XP at all.
Yeah i have done that one already . i saw my driver info and its the same build 11/16/2012 one. so has it been upgraded despite the errors ?
I would say your good to go, If I remember right, this package would also try to install some samples for the amd sdk and that is what is giving the failure message. They only install correctly on higher level operating systems. Everything else in your install was either existing or installed with success.
Yeah DmC ran pretty good this time asewll ! no jerks or that weird rainbow type of thingie at the bottom of screen during gameplay and cutscenes etc ! Thanks all for helping out !
