Exclamation Help! Omega Drivers Have Messed Up My Computer!

I've always used ATI's latest drivers for my X800XT PE but had recently heard good things about the Omega drivers, so yesterday I decided to try them out. I ran some benches prior to installing the Omega drivers so that I would have something to compare them to. I installed the Omega 5.1 drivers and my benches went DOWN so I uninstalled them, ran driver cleaner (which I always do between different drivers) and had to restart my PC. Well when the computer restarted the "Found New Hardware Wizard" opened which is normal. So I canceled it once (for the primary display adapter that it had found), canceled it a second time (for the secondary display adapter that it had found) and then it opened a third time which is NOT NORMAL and I thought it kind of odd. So I reinstalled ATI's 5.2 drivers and had to restart my computer. When the PC started back up, I got the ATI register window which again is normal and then the "Found new hardware wizard" popped up AGAIN. Well now even though I successfully installed ATI's drivers, everytime I startup my PC the "Found New Hardware Wizard" opens and when I go into Hardware Manager, it (sometimes) shows 3 display devices. It shows the primary, secondary, and a primary with a yellow exclamation point on it. WHAT THE HECK!? I've uninstalled the drivers, ran driver cleaner and reinstalled ATI's drivers three times now and it's still happening. AAAHHH! PLEASE HELP!

NEVERMIND, I think I figured it out. I went to the Omega Driver website and read through the FAQs. They had an uninstallation procedure that while I didn't follow exactly, I did search all files and folders for "Omega" and delete them and so far it seems OK.
