      I think that's the only thing i miss about ATI is the frequent updates, Nvidia is not as frequent.

                Eddy01741 yeah i try to post them here as soon as they are release. Some times i get hints when they are going to be out.

                redearedslider follow the instructions:

                install/uninstall any ATI drivers.

                * Step1: Goto your control panel and uninstall the ATI drivers AND ATI Control Panel, if your using modified Drivers, then uninstall those as well.
                * Step2: Download Driver Cleaner
                * Step3: Reboot into safe mode, (hint: press f8 right before windows starts loading, hit it multiple times and choose "Safe Mode when it shows)
                * Step4: If u have modified drivers that include its OWN driver cleaner, use that FIRST, THEN use driver cleaner and clean all the drivers u don't need.
                * Step5: Use CAB Cleaner (in driver cleaner menu)
                * Step6: Remove files from recycle bin if their are any
                * Step7: Restart into windows and install your new drivers. Press cancel to any requests to install drivers for your video card, install them from the downloaded Executable file.
                * Step8: Reboot.

                      Re: ATI Users: Catalyst 6.2 Drivers Release

                      Im really skeptical. the last set of drivers i installed (6.1) screwed over my BF2, and made it impossible to reinstall on the same drive. I kept getting the error "modified content" which is total BS since before the driver install my BF2 had been working flawlessly THAT VERY SAME DAY.

                      i'm not touching them, quite frankly. not until i upgrade my system. I got too much important **** on this HDD to waste on a format.

                          Has anyone test how they run in BF2 yet? Because I'm not updating until I know they don't screw things up.

                              Same, depends on the cards. I have the Radeon 256 X700. I'm not touching either. I might change my mind though if there is more positiv feedback.
