Windows 10 Inspiron 1545 (2008) ATI Radeon hd 4300 in 1366x768 resolution

The standard Windows 10 drivers will not support the 1366x768 resolution of the ATI 4300 video on the Inspiron 1545.  The best you'll get is 1024x768.  The same goes for the most recent ATI drivers.  I have found that you need to go back to the January 2015 driver (8.970.100.9001) to get 1366x768 to work.  It does work, however getting hold of the driver isn't easy.

Here is an extract from the AMD driver site:

The following Discrete AMD Radeon™ Graphics products support up to WDDM 1.1 and DirectX® 10.1:

    • ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series /ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4000 Series Graphics
    • ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series /ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3000 Series Graphics
    • ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series /ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 2000 Series Graphics

 These graphics products must be installed using display driver version: 8.970.100.9001. This driver is provided as a courtesy and only available via Windows Update. Please enable Windows Update and allow it to detect and install the appropriate driver. 

NOTE: ATI Radeon™ HD 4000/ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4000, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000/ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3000, and ATI Radeon™ HD 2000/ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 2000 Series Graphics reached peak performance optimization on October, 2013. No additional driver releases are planned for these products.

After upgrading my Dell inspiron 1545 (service tag:<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>) to Windows 10. I decided to update the VGA from the Device manager, but after updating my Screen went scrambled. After restarting, the system boots to the Desktop and my screen goes blank after a minute.

I also tried updating the VGA using DriverPack online but the same problem arose.

Need help urgently
