How do I uninstall the old drivers?
Control Panel > Programs and Features, then run the ATi Install Manager (by double clicking it), and select uninstall.
Then after the restart, install these :- http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/ATIRadeonHD5800seriesrecommendedgraphicsdriver.aspx
This is gonna drive me insane I ran an ATI uninstaller, and the cat is not in the control panel > Programs list.
Rebooted and windows still only sees a standard VGA adaptor. Tried installing the RC7 drivers for win7 but they keep stopping just after I click the install button
glad you have fixed it.
do you have all the C++ patches installed on your machine?
will you need to do this every time you update CCC?
Glad you got it sorted, can put that 5870 through its paces now.
