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

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
The installer just stops working after I click the install. I presuming its because windows hasn't found the new 5870.
What in the world of hogwash is my windows doing.
Basically, the ATI RC6/7 drivers installer for the 5800s stops working after you click the install button. I did try to uninstall the 9.9 CCC drivers before hand.
I thought it might be some corruption somewhere, so I restored my fresh build ghost image (sacrificed some later app installs) thinking that would resolve. But the same happened.
After a little research on the Net, I found this interesting page. I hope its some help some others in the same situation. I followed it thru and got RC7 installed properly now

Not sure about the C++ patches, I would say something seems to be amiss. I hope I won't need to do this all the time.
I installed 9.8 and 9.9 with no trouble. Its only these RC6/7 that I encountered it. Maybe it will be fine when 9.10 hits retail.
Glad you got it sorted, can put that 5870 through its paces now.
Yup I can put that extra gloss on Peggle and OutRun on MAME
