    Seems like every time I go to install them, the ATI Install Manager crashes...

    Works great here, connected to a server and it loaded in 7 seconds compared to 30-40 seconds. Awesome!

    Fixed the install manager crash. Apparently a VC++ file was corrupted.

    Driver & CCC version appears newer but others appear to be slightly older!

    I had random crashes on Bad Company 2 with the 10.4 preview, I could not play an entire game without a grey screen. I think this version fixed it for me, i've just played 3 hours in a row without any crash :banana:

    Based on the release notes, just that they fixed the Bad Company 2 loading issue for all the rest of the cards, not just HD5xxx.

    Glad you got that worked out. I will make a note of this. What did you do to correct the issue?

    I can't get this driver to install properly either.

    First I got a warning message during the install and basically tells me that not everything was installed, but looking in the report there is no further info on what exactly the error was.

    Obviously CCC and the driver itself failed to install. So I tried to manually install driver then CCC, I managed to install the driver but I cannot get CCC to install.

    Now I cleaned registry files and other remaining files 2-3 times and still it fails to install with a little warning prompt comming up each time. Extremly annoying...and if that wasn't enough now the old drivers cannot install properly either so something has been fed up in the ati registry.

    Anyone got any ideas except formating? I had this happend before when driversweeper broke things, maybe 2-3 times and I know I had to formate each time but one after those things happend ( now I can't remb what I did that one time to get it working without a formate, sigh ).


    /edit

    Oh well this driver properly f'ed my system, that or driversweeper..

    How do I install CCC manually without the for me bugged manager?


    /edit2

    Tested the driver now with BF2 and yes loading is alot quicker about 6-7 seconds from when you press join until you land on the weapons selection. But still I have found no way to get CCC working here, totally bugged out for me.

    Got a error in the end of the install but i did a reboot and all install ok. Loadings are fast now and i notice also a boost in performance on my 4890... only report i have on BFBC2 is the click to spawn it a bit laggy or strange..

    In my experience driver sweeper causes more problems than it solves...
    I recommend installing over top of older drivers. Works best with non beta releases however...

    With me its the other way around, If I dont use driver sweeper and unistall, files doesnt get copy over right when I install over. I tried the install over a copy of times. I always have to uninstall, sweeper and install.

    Edit:Hmm THese I cant use 1ghz gpu any more as it doesnt let me set it any more only 960mhz is setable.

    I download Visual C++ 2005/2008 64bit and 32bit versions with each SP. It worked out fine.

    Was your error something like APPLICATION WAS NOT GIVEN PERMISSION TO INSTALL?

    If so I had that too and now anything with ATI slapped onto it gives me this error when trying to install it (only tested ATI Crossfire Profiles)

    "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

    Can't seem to get it to stop no matter what "FIX" I try.
