ATI Radeon 9200 and no per pixel borders

Published on October 10, 2005 By Jonep In WindowBlinds

If your Radeon 9200 or 9250 won't do the per pixel thing here's how you do it.
step 1 uninstall all ati software, catalyst control center, control panel and 5.9 drivers.
step 2 reboot.
step 3 find your original driver disc that came with your card install drivers only (choose custom install) don't install the control panel.
step 4 open windowblinds choose a per pixel skin and your away!.
don't ask me why (no idea) this works for me and master KOL he's got the 9250.
good luck.

The latest release of the Catalyst 4.x series (4.12) works well with transparency. You can get it at

The release is from December 2004. This is fairly recent. I doubt the later Catalyst utilize the 9200 to its fullest...

cool, at least I have more updated drivers.
did you tried one of the first CATALYST 5.xx??? I tried from 5.10 to 5.7 and they didnt work.

i think its a bug in the drivers for 9200

im using omega drivers base on the latest cat. my laptop default res is 1400x1050.
im so use to it, then setting any lower makes everything out of place.

this is what i did to get a semi working per pixel running.

set below 1152x864, per pixel works.
then i set to 1400x1050. per pixel only works for folders.

i guess thats better then nothing.
hope someone has a real fix for this problem.

did some heavy testing and found out something.

9200 cant use Catalyst 5.x above for per pixel to work for every res.

so the latest driver for 9200 is Catalyst 4.12. per pixel will work even with 1600x1200

TESTED from Catalyst 2.2 to Catalyst 5.11

you can use Omega Driver which are tweaked Ati drivers. you can download them @ NGOGQ.com

No , those made the show hidden icons thingy on the bottom right scroll extremely slow... Additionally , I think there was a problem with the card put in there , so I pulled it and went back to the Intel 865g on board graphics , and all is fine again. No Biggie . Ill be happy with what I got in the mean time
