problem with install of ati display drivers  

hi all
2day i started to update my gpu drivers to the 11.10 prev version 3 ready for BF3 2moz. only this time it was slightly differant. when i clicked the bottom option to remove all ati drivers. i got a warning that it may uninstall chipset drivers and somethin else. i havent had this b4. so i used the top option instead.(uninstall manager) checked all boxes as none mentioned chipset n so on. uninstalled, run driver sweeper. rebooted. then when i was installing the new drivers. i clicked select all. not thinking it was differant this time. everythin went fine untill i saw northbridge n usb filter drivers trying to install. then bsod.

i did a system restore. now everythin is ok. but ive stil got to install the new drivers.( unless bf3 runs ok on 11.10 prev version 1) anybody still using this set for bf3?

question ive never changed the chipset drivers b4 so not sure. do i now select express uninstall and remove chipset n usb drivers? (wouldnt of thought this necessary) or just use uninstall manager and uninstall just the display drivers and make sure all the other stuff is not ticked when reinstalling??

sorry for the noobish question but ive never come across this in ccc b4.

as always any help is greatly apreciated,, cheers folks

When you go to uninstall the drivers through the ATI uninstall manager just do a custom uninstall and choose CCC and the video crad drivers only. Roboot, then do a custom install and just install the CCC and the video card drivers.





This of course assumes you don't want to update anything else, like the chipset drivers.

BTW since you have the drivers, just click them and choose uninstall when asked and follow the porcedures I outlined above. No need to go through "Programs and Features"

it hangs on the default wallpaper-no taskabar loaded, icons etc-like whole explorer got problem. task manager dont start-after pressing ctrl alt del comes black screen.

Hi Martin, this sounds like a Windows issue as opposed to a GPU issue. After installing Windows please make sure you install the chipset drivers for the motherboard. Also get your drivers from AMD's website, don't use the Windows Update version since they generally lack other features a full feature set from the manufacturer may have, also the manufacturer may have newer improved drivers.

BTW we need to know your full system specs be be of more help.

Thanks.

Thank you Sygnus,

yes, i tried this solution too, i installed drivers for chipset and for hdd, i dont install audio driver-because i use another sound card. But i will try to install this drivers too-to eliminate this possibly solution.
btw: my configuration is core 2duo E8400, asus P5B, Emu 1212m sound card, Ati 5770, 4gb ram, two HDDs,

P.s i tried also to install net framework c++ redistributable direct x and some updates for win before installation ati drivers..
