v9.5 Catalyst driver broke its profiles?

Hello!

I just upgraded/overinstalled my v9.4 to v9.5 for Catalyst driver with
its CCC, HDMI audio, and xcode. I noticed my Audigy 2 ZS sound stopped
working because HDMI audio took over (never had that happened before). I
rebooted and got my SB Audigy 2 ZS audio back. However, I noticed my
CCC's profiles don't work anymore. Changing does nothing (no errors). I
even tried removing old and remaking them. Same problem. I also noticed
I couldn't manually adjust my three displays (VGA or DVI for LCD monitor
and CRT TV) until I pressed auto-detect (never had to do that before). I
can change display options and stuff, but profiles still don't work.

Is anyone else having these problem too? It seems v9.5 is buggy (to me).
I am using an updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 and a MSI R4870-T2D512 OC
Radeon HD 4870 512 MB video card.

Thank you in advance.

I've basically the same setup and gone through the same upgrade, though
just the 'integrated driver + ccc' package, and had no problems. You may be
looking at an uninstall/drivercleaner/install.

Interesting. Did you have to install HDMI AUdio and xcode too? If so,
then which order? What I did was install HDMI Audio, xcode, and CCC.
Then, rebooted.

You said earlier you aren't using hdmi, and i don't know what xcode is.
Are you saying you installed the driver+ccc last? That sounds backwards.
Anyway, I'd uninstall everything, then install just the driver+ccc, and go
from there.

OK, I did more messing around with it.

Reinstalled v9.5 = no fix.
Uninstalled v9.5 and other v9.5 stuff I installed, rebooted, reinstalled
v9.4 CCC package only, and rebooted = still broken!
Uninstalled v9.4, rebooted, uninstalled ALL ATI stuff including an old
school 9700 screen saver (ant moebius one I still love), ran
DriveSweeper v1.5.5, rebooted, reinstalled v9.5 CCC, rebooted, etc. =
works agian!

I guess cleaning ATI left overs and clean reinstall were needed. Too bad
it didn't fix my old blue screen issue with DVB Viewer Pro (since v8.11)
after playing a 3D game/running a 3D screen saver.

It probably would have worked the first time if you had uninstalled the
9.4s first.

I never had to do that in the past when upgrading.

The 'official' installation instructions for video drivers (all mfgrs)
have included un-installing the old drivers for quite a long time.
Maybe you've been lucky or whatever, but in any case, always uninstall
first and your chance of having a problem is minimized.

In the release notes for one of the past Catalyst drivers, it said
that improvements had been made to avoid a reboot when upgrading
drivers. That means that it is okay to do so and since then I have
never uninstalled first without any issue.
