My thoughts exactly. All you need to do is go to the AMD/ATI download drivers site and download the necessary drivers.

I never posted in there either, that doesn't mean anything. I think he's just confusing terms or something.

Yeah you just need to restart to apply the drivers. Everything should work as it should now.
