Thank you very much for your help and patience...
Unfortunately I do not have "VPU Recover" in my Ati-Controlpanel.
When trying to uninstall Smartgart it said, there is no smartgart to
uninstall.
My Phoenix-Bios does not have any options about AGPspeed
and last but not least... the catalystdrivers I found are not for mobile
computers, so I am not sure if I should give it a try...
....but maybe...
If you have any other idea, I would really appreciate your help.
