I downloaded the 5.11 drivers from the ATI web site this afternoon. As
usual, I uninstalled the old drivers using the ATI software uninstall
utility program. After rebooting I installed the 5.11 drivers and
rebooted again. The problem was that the redraw rate on my desktop was
agonizingly slow. Even moving a window an a few inches
flickered/flashed terribly. I uninstalled the 5.11 drivers and
reinstalled the 5.10 ones. The screen is back to normal again.
Does anyone know what went wrong? I have a Radeon X800pro card on a
Windows XP, sp2 machine with 1 gig RAM.
Thanks.

Until now, I haven't used an ATI product in many years, but I have to say
that I'm disappointed that every time you upgrade you have to uninstall the
previous version. Is that the case for nVidia, too? This seems really
primitive to me, that a driver's install routine isn't sophisticated enough
to be able to upgrade the previous version.
Worse, when reading the "737-20561: Removing Old ATI Software" technote, I
see that it's not enough that you go to Add/Remove to (logically) uninstall
"ATI Software Uninstall Utility," you have to go back and do the same for
the non-descript "DAO." Ridiculous. How many people are even going to catch
that second one? |

there is no need to uninstall previous video drivers, 99.9% of the time
installing over top works just fine.
This is not the case with MMC etc, but for the video drivers and wdm
drivers installing over previous versions works perfectly. |

OK, I tried it again. This time I not only used the uninstall utility
from ATI, but DriverCleaner 1.2 as well. Reinstalled the 5.11 drivers
and now all is well.
I've found that unless the previous ATI drivers are completely
uninstalled that there are usually problems of some sort... at least
with Windows XP.

I tough that ccc drivers when installing was showing a little message
like (uninstalling previous drivers or out dated driver) So by that
you dont have to uninstall every thing with that driver cleaner that
mess up winxp...
Here every thing went well i got an x700pro vivo. |

I'd second that. I just install over the top and generally have no problems.
