Don't use the tool Driver Sweeper to delete old ATI drivers

I don't think a utility to remove ATI drivers is necessary unless someone has borked their install by manually attempting to delete files.

If the GPU maker can't figure out how to properly uninstall their drivers, I am reluctant to think a third party will do any better.

I have never had an issue with bad uninstalls in the last decade + of using ATI cards.

 

lol driver "uninstallers"

 

Tell that to RadeonPro users who thought CCC can't do jack sh!t for profiling their games, and also MSI Afterburner users for OC-ing.

Besides, like onemoar said, this isn't about a 'driver uninstaller'.
I'm pretty sure everyone who uses some sort of driver cleaners did use AMD's own uninstaller first.
What those cleaners do is just sweeping up whatever the uninstaller has left behind, like unused files and registry entries, not uninstalling the entire driver suite.

 

not what I ment
driver sweeper and the like do nothing but cause moar problems

 

:heh:
It's just you, maybe.

Not me, definitely.
Aside from SP1 thingy, never had any problems, actually.

 

Never had a problem with it, I use the latest version though.

 

i been using the one hosted on guru3d (i think its 2.1) and i have no problems with it

i did a file integrity check and it came back 100% good also

after reading some info i did go get the latest version though

 

I use 2.1
not have problems.

 

Same here. I was only using 2.1 but had no problems installing SP1, but still thought it wise to scan integrity of the file system. No errors but I also upgraded to 2.9.

 

there is no reason to use such programs unless you are running xp
