Restart and go back into catalyst control center it shouldn't open up the Avivo video options. I'm not sure why it would give you that error, are you using the most up to date drivers 9.2? Also I like to do a fresh format whenever I switch from nvidia to ATI, but Driver Sweeper is fine too.
ATI drivers really do suck?

Yeah just downloaded the latest catalyst from their site yesterday. And i did try rebooting but catalyst always opens up to the avivo section and gives me that lovely error.

It is too late now but if that happened to me I would do a force shut down then reboot. A force shutdown does not save the bad changes. This does not just work on video card issues. If say your icons all of a sudden get messed up force shutdown will not save the bad settings. Will use the last proper shutdown settings. Saves lots of time for so many little annoying things.

If applicable, just make sure you only remove the Vid Drivers and not other nForce drivers too! |

I have had various nvidia cards and even an old ATI card with no problems like this but they were all on xp or vista 32bit. I have catalyst 9.2 finally up and running again, i guess i will just have to remember not to touch avivo......
Its not my "computer skills" causing this as google will immediately result in many other people having the same problems.

Many, or just some? Some just means a hardware/software conflict on certain systems, which both ATI and Nvidia drivers are susceptible to. Many means a major driver probem.
I love how you blame ATI for a problem which most users are not having and the exact source of which has not been determined.
I go through 8-10 different GPU's a year and this whole "Nvidia is bad, no ATI is bad" is just a big truckload of crap.

I dunno about you but if I google "Nvidia problems", I get tons of results too.
When you look for problems, you find them.

Many other people having the identical problem, their only solution was to uninstall/reinstall and avoid touching the basic quality in the avivo option in catalyst. This is a driver bug/glitch that i did not experience with the many, many versions of drivers i had installed and used with nvidia.
I posted asking for help, but checking your posts in this thread all i see is you advertising how many GPU's you have and run ( 10 GPU's a year LOL) instead of actually suggesting any solutions. If you cant suggest any help or insight to solve the problem then you can stop the trolling and humping of ATI's leg.

Have to agree. In all these years using ATI drivers, never had an error like described. Even after switching from Nvidia to ATI and not doing a clean install.
Installed 9.2 originally but 3DMark Vantage needed 9.1 drivers, so uninstalled them and using 9.1 (which is working fine with folding, too). No problems.
