I am updating the drivers on an old laptop for my sister but I can't find the drivers for the graphics chipset on AMD's site. This laptop has Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit. The GPU or integrated GPU is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 and this laptop is for very general use such as internet and open office you know things of that nature. Here is the dxdiag info for the GPU or integrated GPU,

I have Windows updated as well which took forever, this laptop was on service pack 2 before I started updating it. And I will be maxing out the RAM in this thing so it can get the best performance it is capable of. Also I will be removing the bloatware such as AOL. Thanks for any help guy/gals :)
I checked and the closest i found was drivers for the X1050 Desktop Graphics, you could try to use the whole Auto detect and Install thing they have.
I will try the auto detect and let you know how it goes.
Ok sorry it took so long but I just got the chance to try the driver autodetect feature. AMD's driver autodetect showed me what GPU or rather what integrated chip is in this laptop I'm still not sure if it's integrated or not. It showed me the latest driver the so I downloaded it and when I try to install it I get an error message as seen in this screenshot I took,

Where do I go from here other than rolling back to the previous driver that was installed?
Ok, I figured it out. The latest drivers that are supported on HD 4000 cards or older are the Catalyst 9.3 Newer drivers will not work. Found that out on AMD's site.
