Athanasios Stavrakis · Sep 15, 2014

hi I install windows 8.1 32bit on my computer and I have the Radeon xpress 200 . I install all the drivers accept from the amd one. The first time I try to install the drivers (quick installation) gives me an error that I don't remember the I try custom installation next the installer starts and runs for about 10 seconds an when it finishes says that the installation was finished successfully. But nothing no restart message nothing. I go to the installation folder to see ( C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies ) and nothing just an empty folder. I try everything I know restart, uninstall the windows drivers and then install the amd's one ,I try every version I find but just nothing
by the way I just install windows 8.1
please HELP thanks and sorry for my bad english

1. Uninstall the application/driver through Add/Remove Programs.
2. Use Driver Sweeper to remove the leftovers.
3. Download the official drivers from the AMD website (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download) and Install it right away.

InvestigativeSpleen :

do not buy AMD/radeon. r9 known issue is a DIRECT X problem caused by the old rereales chips not having hardware support for the new DX changes and AMD will not be redoing the old 7900 series drivers for a fix. Took me weeks and lots of research and a couple of tech support dudes with loose lips tunes me in. DO NOT waste your time or money these chips appear only good on specs and real world results are unacceptable running new windows versions due to massive issues and returns of r9 series cards. The suppliers like gigabyte, asus are absolutly spewing at AMD and there is a lot of talk about some brands dropping thier AMD offerings due to brand damage cause by this AMD dash for cash releasing old chips they knew would not handle new DX changes and OS changes. SHOULD BE SOLD AS ORIGINAL CHIP and only as discontinued stock. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME RETURN ANY r9's and start again with the reliable Nvidia offerings.

That has nothing to do with the OPs issue.
