Download the drivers from:

I'm not sure if Milkyway is distributing the ATI GPU app automatically yet, so you might have to set that up manually.

edit: also, none of this will work over a Remote Desktop Connection or VNC.

See Bigred's steps 4, 5 and 6 above to deduce if you need the AMD or ATI one.

I could not find any of the files he listed Ati or Amd
Could the be in another folder? No I searched the drive and no files
And it still says no usable GPU found in the log

Where do I get the Aticalrt.dll, Aticalcl.dll Aticaldd.dll or Aticalrt64.dll, Aticalcl64.dll , Aticaldd64.dll. at ?

Ok, I'm going to try to cover all the possibilities so don't be offended at the questions.

1. I assume from the description of your setup that the card went into a MB that had an onboard graphics chip. Did you go into the BIOS and change the PCIe to be the primary graphics adapter?

2. Did you connect the additional power cables to the card from the power supply?

3. Did you connect the monitor cable to the card?

4. If you go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager do you see the card listed as the display device?

5. If you right click on the card and then click on properties, does it say that the device is working properley?

6. If all the above is correct then go to My Computer > c: > Windows > System32 and look for the files I mentioned before. If they are still not present then the drivers and catalyst are not properly installed.

If this doesn't solve it then we'll have to figure something out.

Well it turns out I can not install V9.11 on that MB
it reboots 1/2 way through the install every time

But it does work OK from the install CD with V8.56

I will get a differant MB to install the 4870 in

I told you that this would be an adventure. I had the same thing happen on one of my systems. I installed the CAT9.1 package available here and everything worked fine. Make sure to completely remove the other one before installing.
