1) Download the x86 driver

2) Right click the installer, choose the compatibility tab then Vista SP1. Apply.

3) Double-click the installer. Choose uninstall and express.

4) Reboot.

5) Re-run the installer, choosing to Install. Make sure the compatibility settings are still applied.

Yes, the built-in uninstaller will do it. And yes to your other questions.

Thanks again for your help :) will let you know if this helps :)

Hey again.. did what you said exactly but when its installing i get the black out screen and it freezes again and i have to shut down and reboot there is a warning with the installer that your screen might flicker and go black during installation mine does that but then just freezes again?

ok something is different even though the install to me looks like it didnt finish.... the original text in driver info is:
RADEON X600 series secondary
It now reads:
ATI RADEON X300/X550/X1050 Series Secondary
did it install fully? as i got a fatal error when it was last installing but the driver info tells me the new driver is there? im confused

I got it working (I think) lol I forgot to say I went from XP to Windows 7 so instead of doing:

2) Right click the installer, choose the compatibility tab then Vista SP1. Apply.

I changed the "Vista SP1" to:

Right click the installer, choose the compatibility tab then "XP Sp2". Apply.

and did a nortons 3D Graphics performance test (which failed every time before this) and now I have done it 5 or 6 times and it runs smooth and no black screen or freezing So fingers crossed I have seen the last of that Issue thanks again for your help.. I will keep you posted as to any more trouble (if any) I get with this past issue:)

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just happend again It seems to happen when I have a few pages open I was doing another 3d graphics test and had this page and a few other forums open and I got an error message saying display has recoverd from an error then screen went black and froze this is annoying to say the least...Help
Note: It's not as common as before when I did the ATI driver installation but the problem is still there to a degree...

Bump.. help

Type device into the start menu, then select device manager, then in display adaptors, right-click, select update, from file, and choose C:\ATI.

Thanks again :) it says I have the most up to date driver.. so maybe It's another problem but I think it is a graphics driver problem...
