I have just purchased a brand new ASUS R9 290 from my local store, and I have tried installing the driver and catalyst suite etc. My first problem, is that the amd auto detect website won't detect my os or my gfx card. So I just put everything in manually then clicked search for drivers. It came up with the mobility catalyst center and the regular one. Then when I click run on the normal one it comes up with failed to download, then it asks to retry or close. I clicked retry and then it brought up a message saying "This download isn't compatible with your version of windows". Even though I correctly selected my OS (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit) in the downloads finder thingy. Anyway once I saved it to the desktop instead of running the file I ran it, and it came up with "There were errors installing the package" or something of the like, I read the error report and it said that I was already installing it and I should wait until that one was finished before I installed the rest of it. Even though I was only installing it once, with nothing else open. After I clicked finish etc, I restarted my pc, and then when it got to the windows log on screen and anything else in windows, it wouldn't fill up the entire screen. It was leaving a black border around the desktop. I went into the catalyst control center and it said that it was running at 1920 x 1080p 60Hz even though it clearly wasn't. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and control center etc. but to no avail. Does anyone know a fix?
Also in any sort of hardware identifying thing in both windows and the catalyst control center, it only comes up with R9 200 series or R9 2xx series Graphics adapter etc, never R9 290. it's always general. Is this supposed to happen.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
