I was pointed towards here, so here goes nothing. First, I would like to say I tried following the guides offered on the website to help, but I'm not very tech savvy and so I'm not sure if I'm just overlooking what I need to set my laptop up or not. So if anyone could help I would be greatly appreciative.

Here are my specs.

Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Video Card: ATI Radeon x1200

I've seen solutions for updating ATI Radeon x1200 drivers for Windows Vista and XP, but nothing for Windows 7. If anyone can help please do

That's because this integrated graphics chipset isn't (officially) supported by Windows 7.

It's a DX9 / OpenGL 2.x class card and support for these chips was terminated in March 2009, 8 months before Windows 7 was released.

Now, that being said, you can (unofficially) use the Vista version of the 9.3.1 driver along with Mobility Modder.

Windows 7 will by and large accept drivers compatible with the Windows Display Driver Model originally included with Vista, although such drivers will lack the benefits of the WDDM 1.1 specification.
