Hi,
Recently acquired a HIS Radeon HD3650 graphics card. When I install the ATI drivers which came on a CD with the card on windows XP service pack 3 (clean install) and reboot, it freezes on startup at the Windows XP splash screen and I have to reset and start in safe mode to uninstall the driver. It will then start fine. If I try to install any other ATI drivers I get an error message:
"Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system.
Setup will now exit."

Any idea what the problem is? thanks in advance

NEver download the cd drivers, always download the latest drivers from the website.

Uninstall anything ATI from your computer, use a driver cleaner (free from the net) and then reboot, go to ati website and download latest drivers.

I tried the newest ATI drivers and got the same error, I am using a DVI -> VGA cable adapter.
i'll try that driver cleaner you mentioned..

Well, it seems that I've finally solved the problem in my system :whistle: . My card is a Sapphire HD3650 512DDR2 AGP... well, I've gone to Sapphire web and downloaded the driver for my card, that casually is named "Catalyst 9.1 HOTFIX for HD2K/HD3k AGP cards and WinXP 32-bit (if problems occur by using AGP cards)" and dated 12-feb-2009. It contains both device driver and Catalyst SW, and is not Sapphire branded so I think that could work on 3650 APG cards from any brand.

After installing, the SW versions shown in Catalyst are these ones:

And the HW info that Catalyst shows is:

I'm wondering why this hotfix cannot be found on Ati official web... :-?

Hope this helps. Bye.

I tried this driver (well actually now it's 9.2) from the Sapphire web site and it works fine with my HIS 3650 AGP card, so your right. It's not a special Sapphire driver but rather a special Catalyst AGP driver. And I'm just as baffled as you - why can't we find this driver at ati.amd.com???
