How to Update your ATI Drivers:
One of the quickest ways to encounter problems with your computer is to improperly install new drivers. Even if you try uninstalling old drivers first, some driver residue can be left behind that can cause system problems.
One way to deal with this issue is to do a clean reinstall of your OS. But this can be rather time consuming and inconvenient if all you want to do is upgrade a driver. Below is a step by step method for uninstalling ATI software, cleaning out driver and registry residue, and upgrading to the new drivers:
