    Recently while playing Day of Defeat I noticed a lot of textures not loading so I need to update the drivers for the radeon x1600. But I cant download any from the ati site, they just direct me to apple who obviously have no drivers for windows xp.

    Any idea how I can get the latest drivers for my mbp?

    Software Update ought to update it for you, assuming that there is a driver update ready for it. If the problem is affecting your XP operation, it won't actually be a problem with the OS on the Apple side.

    No, I'm talking about inside Windows XP in bootcamp - I used to be able to update the drivers myself no problem but I cant seem to do it now. And now I'm getting graphical errors in Steam games and don't know how to get the latest drivers?!
