ATI Radeon HD 5700 Update Error!

[Yankie007]

Hi Guys,
I needed to update my drivers for my video card which is an ATI Radeon HD 5700 so I went on their support site and download the latest drivers for my graphic card which I think it's the version: (10-9_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_enu). As soon as I installed the update, at the end of the proccess, it told me there was an error while updating but it doesn't tell what's the specific cause of that error. I will the report as an attachment but it doesn't tell that much. Here it is: View attachment Catalyst Report.docx Now, do you have an idea what is causing the error when I try to do an update?

Thanks,

Yannik

When there are problems installing new video drivers it is recommended to "clean install" them. This process helps to avoid conflicts when installing new drivers.

It is very important to follow proper procedure, as follows:

• Go to the ATI website and download the most current known good driver and save it to an easy to find location.
• Now go into Windows Explorer and in the C: drive find Program Files > ATI folder (inside will be Drivers > your driver version) and delete it (the whole folder).
• Go into Start > Control Panel > Remove a Program and uninstall all programs for the video card. For ATI, select “ATI Catalyst Install Manager” and click on “Change”, then “Uninstall All Components”. Do not restart the computer at this time.
• Run DriverSweeper http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)_d1655.html to uninstall all video driver remnants.
• Now restart the computer.
• When it reaches the desktop Windows will find new hardware and will install it's own WDDM1.1 driver. Let it. You will be asked to restart. Do it.
• Once back on the desktop you can now install the ATI driver package for your card.

Hope that helps.

My successfull install report match yours (besides the 4850 video card IDs which are different). That may be a glitch in package installation, but way hard to identify. If in doubt, re-download and reinstall the package, that can help.
