Ok I've got two computers. An i7920 (from OCUK) and a i7 930 (my first build). I've been toying with World Of Tanks and my frame rates have been around 30to 60 fps. I thought I would check drivers etc and found that on both systems I have an old 2009 driver ..wtf i asked myself. I tried to open catalyst and it was a no go. I then decided to delete all drivers and catalyst (scrubbed the system with driver sweeper and CCCleaner in safe mode) and removed all traces from registry. I downloaded the new install from amd and have tried to install a dozen times now but keep coming up with various fails .. I get a inf file missing and then just "unable to install" or just driver fail ?? I've trolled the internet for a solution and followed all the obvious steps .. what the heck am I missing here ..

Driver issues

tried all that ... have systematically going through every step I can find on the net ... nothing has worked to date .. going through manually and deleting every bit of ati or amd that I can find and trying again .. don't really know what else to do.
got an XFX HD5850. I've just tried installing drivers while in safe mode. Best luck I have had yet. It's showing the card as a HD5850 and is now using a driver from 2011. Catalyst will not install at all even though I have gone through a thorough cleansing .. I've tried using a driver from 2013 but it just refuses to install and reverts back to a 2009 driver ..
I had used the uninstall software in windows to remove first of all. It progressed from there. On advice from other people with issues I then took further action. Only deleting the amd and ati folders in registry when doing a clean install. I even read it on a ati forum ...
hmmm on the i7 930 machine in device manager it is now recognizing it as a HD5800 series instead of the generic VGA adapter. The driver is still late 2011 though ... is there a way of copying the AMD inf file from the i7 920 machine as I have catalyst and drivers now working ..
Ok I contacted Microsoft and they say that the AMD inf file ships with Win7 x64. Apparently it is easily replaced .. unfortunately they want $147US to do it !!! Does anybody know what exact file it is, where it is located and how do I get it from one computer to the next
