You can't take the easy way out and simply install the newer drivers over
your existing ones.
You MUST uninstall your current drivers (Add/Remove programs, look for the
drivers uninstall then software uninstall utilities), reboot, cancel windows
installing generic drivers, then start your new drivers install.
After a reboot, it will be hunky-dory.

I just install over the top when using Omega drivers and never had a
problem. On Win98SE I remember my Directx acceleration was disabled
and having SmartGart retest caused it to enable again.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Catalyst 4.5 and 4.6 cause windows problems and directx di.. |

It's always *best* to uninstall the old drivers first but but why should one
have to. Is it really that difficult to create a driver package (or any
application) that you can install over a previous setup maybe by
uninstalling old files first?

Interesting. I never uninstall the old drivers. I always just install the
new ones over the old ones. Never had a problem. I've been doing this for
about two years now

That's one of the reasons I prefer to use Omega drivers, he has
designed the package so you don't need to uninstall the old drivers.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Catalyst 4.5 and 4.6 cause windows problems and directx di.. |

I agree you shouldn't *have* to uninstall first, and sometimes maybe you can
get away with it... but on the couple of times I've thought "sod it, I'll
install over the top", I've had no DX acceleration in windows and had to
uninstall, reboot, install, reboot and it's then been ok.

The ' gart ' in the Omegas tests this fix then ' fixes ' this test.
Maybe the ' gart ' in the ATi set does the same I've no idea - I don't
use em!
