Can't update graphics drivers

I'm trying to update my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 driver but everytime I start the updater it crashes. Its a Studio 1737 with Windows 7 64x.

    Hello,

    I don't know if you have already tried but, HERE are the latest ATI/AMD drivers for your HD 3650.

    Yah thats the first download I tried. But the site says "Note:  The Mobility Radeon ATI Catalyst drivers for Windows 7 are beta and are only available for Windows 7 beta releases.  For up to date Mobility Radeon graphics drivers for Windows 7, please contact your laptop manufacturer" So I went to Dells driver site and that has the same problem. When I click install it just stops working.

    The Radeon mobility chips like the Intel graphic chips are usually limited to the OEM drivers as far as updating them.

    I would check the windows installed version vs the Dell or the AMD version. If yours is like my XPS Studio 1640 the windows driver is newer than either of the two.

    Click on Start orb in the box type device manager. Select the option that appears. Go to the display adapters. expand it click on the Radeon listing and right click select properties in the window that pops up select driver
