I cannot figure out how to mark as unsolved so I am posting a new one.
I have searched EVERYWHERE and read all threads and articles on this subject to no success. Most of the time the answers are 'install new drivers' or 'manually install drivers through driver > update " but I can't do either of these things.
After fresh install of windows 7 64bit sp 1 on a toshiba satellite s855d-s5253, I was going to install drivers as usual - I came across the display driver as "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" - So I thought, okay so I just have to update and install driver for AMD Vision A10 ( It is a ATI Radeon HD 7660G). I know this is the right card, I used AMD Catalyst auto detect, I googled hardware ids, And also I remember this card from before I had to format the computer. I used an official windows 7 install disc, as well.
When it comes to trying to uninstall the driver, it always reinstalls itself as soon as I turn the system on - I have tried disabling automatic device installation to prevent this to no success.
And when I try installing the Catalyst stuff it ends up giving me a message like "graphics adapter not supported" or could not install because of the graphics adapter, etc. Basically I am trying to reinstall the drivers and its only picking up standard vga graphics adapter? not the Radeon HD 7660G. But it is definitely there. Have also tried safe mode....
I really am at a loss at what to do, this is really a pain as I cannot load any games on the computer!
Also I have tried downloading drivers from Toshiba's web site as well as AMD.
I read somewhere that someone had success (with a similar problem NvIDIA and Dell) and that they edited inf file, although I have no idea what that means.

Just because it's an AMD card, in laptops sometimes AMD drivers don't work with the video. I ran into the same thing with my Dell and it's Nvidia graphics. No Nvidia graphics would work with it unless they were either the Dell drivers or some modified drivers from guru3d.
Here is the driver for your laptop, http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/mod... choose your OS and display under the list and AMD drivers are there.
I followed your instructions and found the same driver that I have been trying to install. When installing this driver it gets to the end and then says to reboot for Catalyst Install Manager to work, I reboot and there is no change (The display still reads as "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter") When then running the setup extracted to the C:\AMD folder, it gives the error that graphics adapter not supported, and that it cannot install.
