What is the best and sure fire way to unistall Cat's 3.2 and install 3.5's???

 

[Schadenfroh]

the only sure fire way is to format

but here is what i would do
1. uninstall from control panel
2. use driver cleaner
3. install 3.5s

none of that reg edit crap?

Also in normal or safe mode

i never use regedit to do driver updates. Just uninstall both the control panel and display driver. Reboot normally. Cancel the prompts to install drivers when windows finds new hardware. install cat 3.5 display driver, then control panel and reboot again. If you want to get really anal about it follow this

BTW DO I REMOVE IN SAFE MODE OR REGULAR

 

[waylman]

regular mode
Im on the 3.4's and they are rock solid....not sure about the 3.5's. I'm sure they are great.
Im pretty sure you can leave rage 3d tweak on w/no probs

Rage3d info on this topic

Heres what i do. Always works perfectly.

1) Uninstall ALL ATI software (drivers, control panel, hydravision, ect Without rebooting between each uninstall.

2) Reboot into safe mode (Hold F8 on startup)

3) Delete the following directories:
C:\ATI
C:\Program Files\ATI Multimedia
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologys
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Raviscent Shared.
**You may not have all of the above.

4)Delete everything in:
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Temp
**You may not have all of the above.

5)In the below listed directories;
Go into detail view, right click on the header, and click the check box for company. Then double click on the new header that says company, and when the Computer has finished sorting them by company, delete any that is related to ATI.
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers

6) Run Reg Cleaner, delete any ATI enteries(checking what you are deleting, cos searching for ATI also brings up other stuff in regcleaner, such as the creative drivers, which if you have a creative card, will want to keep).

7) Run Driver Cleaner, Set to remove ATI stuff, and remove.

8) Empty Recycle Bin

9) Reboot into normal windows, and close all background programs (firewalls, anti-virus`s, ect. The install the following in the below order.
Install New Drivers
Install New Control Panel
Install other ATI software.

Its very similar to the rage3d guide, but with all the "crap" removed from it.
