Uninstalling ATI Catalyst v12.6 driver resulted no video signal!
Hi!
This was weird. I was uninstalling my AMD Catalyst v12.6 driver to reinstall it in my old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE (IE8) machine. I accidently forgot to tell it to remove AMD Install Manager as well. During its uninstall, I lost my video (LCD Acer HDTV monitor detected no video signal). I thought it was a glitch so I shut down the computer and repowered on. No video signal again! I was able to see before Windows GUI was loaded and in safe mode. I couldn't even run the uninstaller (required Windows Installer service!) and installer/setup.exe (no video card detected). I had to use Driver Sweeper v3.2.0 (yes, I know it is bad to use it but I had no way out of it and needed to use the computer!) to clean up the mess in safe mode and I was able to reinstall. Is this a bug? Is there a way to fix it without a driver clean software? Thank you in advance. -- Quote of the Week: "It's kind of an insane case ... 6,000 ants dressed up as rice and robbed a Chinese restaurant." --Steven Wright /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.home.dhs.org (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ / Please nuke ANT if replying by e-mail.

This isn't specific help, but I keep my data off C: and keep C: imaged.
When I make changes, I image the changes (using Image For DOS, the one contained in BOOTit bare Metal. So, if there's a mishap from a new install, I just restore the most recent image, which doesn't even have one crash on it. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |
