Now here is where I lose my bravado
I have created a restore point. I went on to the AMD site to see how to remove pre-existing drivers in XP as follows ...
Click on Start
Open the Control Panel
Select Add or Remove Programs
From the list of Currently installed programs, select ATI - Software Uninstall Utility
If ATI-Software Uninstall Utility is not listed in Add/Remove Programs, first remove ATI Catalyst Control Center then remove the ATI Display Drivers
Click 'No' when prompted to restart the system
Empty the Windows Temp folder by going to C:\Windows\Temp\
Restart the system
I have found ATI Software Uninstall utility --clicked on remove ....then get the pop up box below. I chose the Recommended remove ?? I ignore the option to close and go to C Temp (see blow) am I on the right folder there, as there seems to be a lot in it to empty !! Do I just delete it ? OOOOOOOOOO do I really need this update
