Something is wrong with this version as well.

the Windows release of Catalyst 10.3 finally brings mobile graphics card support to all Mobility Radeon HD graphics cards after the

Unless you happen to own a Sony, Toshiba or Panasonic notebook: these OEMs have decided not to take part in ATI's driver program, so
if you want to download the latest Catalyst drivers for your Sony/Toshiba/Panasonic notebook from ATI's website, do so at your own
risk.
