I'm trying to install the 10.1's but it keeps saying that the driver version is 8.690.0.0 from 11/12/2009.

I have uninstalled the existing drivers from add/remove programs and rebooted, there was then no driver installed so I installed the 10.1's rebooted and it says driver version is 8.690.

I installed driver sweeper did the same, after the reboot I tried to manually delete the remaining 3 files 1 file wouldn't allow me to delete which was in system32 and was a dll.

I am on xp 32-bit and am ready to throw the card out the window and buy an nvidia
 
Ive got a sim problem just changed from 4890-5870 when i uninstall the drivers and reinstall the new drivers i had the same clock speeds as the 4890 and overdrive was unlocked.... reformat was the only way i solved this problem... What card you got?
 
with the amount of work I have on at the moment I'd truly rather take a sledgehammer to it and go and buy another one(with an nvidia card)
 
Or you could just delete all the registry and system files?
Boot up in safe mode ofc, and try not to use driversweeper, do this manually.

Most errors are because of the user, or users system.

Click to expand...

Thats correct for the 10.1's, there is no problem, 8.69 is the 10.1 driver (which is the important bit), and the December date, im pretty sure is because the drivers are done about a month in advance, so the 10.2's this month, will probably have a Jan date. :)

Heres mine :-

ahh ffs ... well thanks for letting me know that!

They should sort out their naming conventions though, it's a bit confusing.

Cheers all.
