My ATI radeon 200 stops working when I restart

Oh dang!

So basically what I did was, Uninstall everything that had to do with ATI and its stupidness, by going to the Add or remove programs. and right clicked on the ATI Install Manager, and clicked "Change" then when to "Uninstall ALL ATI components, then I used a program called Driver Cleaner, to remove anything else that had to do with ATI, then I used a program called CCleaner to remove registry, Then I restarted, and went to Device Manager, right clicked on "VGA standard" and clicked Update, then click "Search automatically for updated software" restarted again, and BOOM. It was back!

Im afraid to restart

thank you everyone for your help!
Ill let you know what happens when I restart
Thanks again!

Good one. Please inform us if that indeed did fix your issues, and thank you for placing the info that may have fixed this, to also help others.

Here it goes!
Im going to restart and hope to god everything is working!


Edit
Okay so, I restarted, and!.... It didnt work
the aero themes stopped working again. BUT
since I created a system restore point before I restarted, tada!
Its back
Its weird because, when I did the system restore, I got a message box saying "system restore did not work successfully, you system files were not changed"
But its working

I think something may be wrong with my video card, or computer
If it continues to happen, I think Id rather live without it working, then go to geek squad and pay $200 or more!

Ill be sure to post back if I figure something out!
