They are only WDM drivers, as you might have noticed, ati drivers
generally are over 10 MB big...

WDM drivers are like a small 2d core of the drivers to give windows
the ability to run the cards without drivers installed ..ofcourse...
no 3d, no OpenGL, no... ya know it!

Do NOT install them, or install them and update your videodrivers
again...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

They are a landmine that will screw your video drivers up and good, never
download drivers recommended by Windows Update, only operating system
software and patches.

Agree with the below post. I downloaded Windows Update drive and screwed-up
an otherwise perfectly operating All In Wonder program. If it ain't broke,
don't fix it!
