Installing new driver errors

[Techen]

Hi guys, I got my 290X back from the company I RMA'd it too. Claimed there was nothing wrong with the card and sent it back. Whatever, I finally after much crap got them working again.

Anyway, Everything I install the drivers I get "Finished but with some errors" It restarts and it seems fine. Whats even more annoying is the error log shows nothing in it.

So whats the "With some errors" mean? When installing drivers the screen does not flash on and off like it used to do? :s

I always use a program to wipe my drivers clean before installing new ones.

What program do you use? That error normally occurs after using a driver wiping program. Its best to uninstall the drivers normally via the Catalyst install manager, then run the driver sweeper tool called DDU.

You can try using DDU now to fix the error, but you may have to reinstall your OS to fix it long term.

Do you know what the problem is? Will it effect my graphics card?

Also I always use DDU to unstaill, But I use it without uninstalling via the Catalyst, Is that the issue?

Which version of DDU are you using? An older version had this problem, though i believe its been fixed in newer versions. Play it safe next time, uninstall the driver properly first, then run DDU before installing the new driver.

Uh oh, I think mines said it was out of date... Great..

So I need to do a entire OS install to fix it now? :/

If it works fine, then don't worry about it. Me personally, id like to see the green tick. If its not causing any problems then you could just leave it and remember it for future reference.

I'll try uninstalling it normally, then using updated DDU and see if I get the error.

Nope, still get it

If it works fine then you can just ignore it. It could be something minor as previously suggested. If it was me though id be reinstalling the OS and would make sure i didn't make that mistake again. Up to you, your mileage may vary.

Well I had RMA'd the card for having random artifact issues and black screen problems. However its been fine with 14.4 for the moment but am worried that error may cause issues with FPS.

With 14.4 am still having problems with mantle and BF4 :<

Might do a restall of windows, Also I refuse to install whatever the raptr thingy is that might be the error?

Why? The Raptr thing has some nice benefits. I use it.

I don't get the benefits? When it trys to put recommended settings there terrible and the free game things I find is like winning the lotto anyway. I dont see what so good about it?
