    Does anybody know why a second GPU would be recognized in Display Driver Uninstaller but not in device manager?

    because its a hidden device. Either a removed card or a leftover of older driver.
    Its 1 of the major point of using DDU, getting rid of thoses.

    I installed the new AMD beta drivers today. Used DDU frist to uninstall the previous one, and everything went flawlessly ;)

    @Wagnard, are there any new additions (files or reg entries) you need to add for these latest AMD drivers, or can I just use DDU 12.3 in case I decide to roll back to Catalyst 13.12?

    Thanks! :)

    I didnt test on my side but I guess its all ok. The driver are not that different from 1 to another. but ill sure give a test run when I have the time.

    Hey Wagnard, been meaning to write this post for a couple of days now (extremely busy), I used DDU 12.3 when 14.2 was released by AMD on the 25th, and after performing the uninstall (under safe mode, Windows 8.1 Pro), an error message appeared right before the restart saying "Unknown hard error", then Windows restarted itself.

    Everything seems fine at the moment (already using 14.2).

    But I'm curious, what caused the error message?

    I will upload the log file once I get home later tonight.

    Thanks.

    The hard error was from DDU? I mean DDU crashed with a hard error?

    The "unknown hard error" message appeared just after DDU closed (seconds before restarting), on this screen:

    I really don't know mate, this is the 1st time I've had that message pop up, and I've been using DDU from very early on.

    Wagnard, can I send you PM here (or to e-mail) with ziped DDU translation on Serbian (Latin)? I was using files from DDU 12.4 version, just did a triple check of my translation...

    edit:
    If you want I could also make translation to Serbian (Cyrilic).

    Hi guys,
    I need a general opinion on the auto reboot into safemode.
    Do you guys want to keep it or not?

    I was thinking of removing it because some users have problem with their computer denying them to go into safemode.

    So I want to know if you guys want to keep this feature or not.

    Might be handy to keep for people running 8.x

    Not as easy to get into safemode running 8.x

    Maybe make running the program as Admin a must ? Would that sort the permission out ?

    maybe let the user choose what to do ? :)
    IF that's more useful and effective, i would not remove it completely...

    Its already a must to be Admin.

    The problem encountered by some user is a bug from a backup software from "Easeus" recently. (probably on one of their latest update)

    They had a driver that fail to load in safemode and because DDU is adding with BCDEDIT the value to boot into safemode with networking, it result that the system will always tries to go into safemode and by so always fail.

    This is one of the issue encountered. I'm sure many users have different reason why their system doesn't work into safemode.

    It's already a choice. But some users never go into safemode and by so they dont even know their safemode is not working or will hang or crash.
    And if this happen, the computer is stuck in a safemode boot loop because it cannot enter safemode and DDU cannot remove the bcdedit change it did.

    It is possible to remove it manually with the windows cd and selecting the repair option with command prompt then BCDEDIT our-self, but when a "not so techy user" encounter this problem, it required me to explain the procedure every time.

    Definitely keep the option to boot into safemode as most of us use it and really like the feature. Just put a warning that it might not work for everyone. If it does not work for someone have some simple instructions maybe on how to boot into safe mode. Just because it doesn't work for some people does not mean you should pull a feature that most of us really appreciate from the program.

    Keep it in there and keep up the great work I really like this program and now have all of my friends using it.
