ok, sorry for vagueness.
1. I used the ati uninstaller to uninstall all ati material. Restarted my computer.
2. After having uninstalled everything, colours and resolution are back to normal, but my graphics card is not the display adapter, there is no display adapter section in device manager. Add Hardware wizard detects to pieces of hardware, i press cancel, because it can't find the drivers for them. I download and install the latest Catalyst drivers for windows XP and Radeon.
3.After setup i restart my computer and when it gets to windows colour and resolution are awful, pop up saying catalyst cannot work properly until optimal graphics processor settings are detected, Please wait. I leave it for 10 minutes, nothing happens. Sometimes Hydravision pops up and says it cannot start because there are no ATI display drivers running or present. I try to change the resolution and colour in display properties screen goes black then re-appears and settings are the same.
I did do a windows update before all this and i downloaded 2 optional updates:
1.ATI Technologies, Inc - Video - ATI WDM Specialized MVD Codec
2.ATI Technologies, Inc - Video - ATI WDM Rage Theater Video NSP
Could these be the problem? They re-install after i install the drivers.
Hope this helps. Can't see what i'm doing wrong though. I did a virus scan, no problems.
