Default X1950 Pro Drivers

So it seems that AMD/ATI has decided my GPU is old, sending it to the Legacy junk yard to die in peace. I have never been a huge fan of Legacy drivers. I felt that they did the bare minimum to make a GPU run in the OS and that was the end of it. I am curious if anyone knows a site that still supplies recent custom drivers for the X1900 series. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I still love this card and I will upgrade in the next month or so, but I know it is still a wonderfully functional card. Was able to play Vegas 1 on full settings with surprising fluidity last night. Just trying to see what else she can still do.

the last driver for the x1950 is catalyst 9.3.

here is the page it is displayed on. scroll down towards the bottom and then there are the links to the drivers (i am assuming you want it for win7 x64)

I tried these drivers and, oddly enough, they kept coming back with a error and not installing. Maybe conflicting with legacy drivers? Not sure; I uninstalled the legacy, but still an error saying it couldn't install the driver.
