Can't properly install Catalyst Control Center

[perosmct]

^ this, use a truly awesome tool from an engineer...

its not very well documented (the owner is greek), but atiman uninstaller actually uses the ccc uninstaller in silent mode 1st, scrubs your registry and install direcories, and then installs a dummy driver so your desktop doesnt get hosed.

it does all the rebooting for you as well.

Ok. I think, well I don't know if this is the problem, but it's weird.

I have a DVI plugged in from my desktop to me monitor. When I restart when I usually wipe all my AMD software I use the HDMI port to see me screen because the drivers aren't set up to read my monitor yet.

Ok here's what I just now saw, it's weird but I caught it really fast. When I unplugged my HDMI plug the Overdrive option in Catalyst disappeared. I did it again and as soon as I unplugged before my screen switched I could see that option disappear again.

Why would there be a connection between my display setup and CCC's Overdrive option which directly affects my card? I will test this theory out more to see what happens.

if you unpluged the monitor, how could you see it disappear?

most likely its powersaving reelated...

It was a sort of lag with it, like I could see an option disappear right as I unplugged it. Like the overdrive mode it fine as of now.

Why would it be a power saving issue? All I'm doing is switching display channels. I take out the HDMI and DVI pops up, no overdrive in Catalyst, meaning no auto clock when I play games. I switch to HDMI after restarting, Overdrive comes back, games work like they are supposed to.

I don't even know how to word this issue in google.

No, this is not true.

There are not install a dummy Vga driver, but leave the default Microsoft driver in the system.

Only if a problem occurs in an entry after checking, then re-create this entry with the new one.

Also, does not delete all registry key, but only the necessary parameters.

And much more.
Is a completely different program, much more difficult.

Lets not be pedantic, dummy driver is a sufficent description.

I wasnt writing a white paper, just a basic overview.

Your program will only install on C drive. Not very helpful if I want to install it somewhere else...
