Can't uninstall Ati Drivers to install new card
I'm in the process of updating my AIW8500 card to a XT850.
However, I cannot complete the uninstall of the 8500 drivers. Follow the instructions, run the utility to remove all ATI software, the system reboots and hangs. Will not boot back up under any circumstances. How do I remove the current ATI software/drivers so that I can remove the 8500 and install the XT850 card and it's drivers? The system will not boot up after uninstalling the current drivers and ati software. It just hangs with black screen. Ultimately have to do a power shut down. Then restore drive image to be able to boot back up. Help..

It should give you detailed manual uninstall instructions, including the locations of items in the registry. If Driver Cleaner Pro doesn't work, it's probable there is some residue in the registry that's not coming out.

Can't uninstall Ati Drivers to install new card
Instructions for DriverCleaner Pro say to run the ati unistall utility
and reboot, then run DriveCleaner Pro. The problem is that upon reboot, the system hangs and I can't do anything other than a power off.

Can't uninstall Ati Drivers to install new card
when you reboot after add/remove ati stuff, you don't boot into
windows proper. reboot and right after the computer bios post ... hit the F8 key (repeatedly if necessary) to bringup a winboot menu and choose Safe Mode which will boot you into a 640x480 windows with minimal drivers (stock vga drivers in the case of graphics) your system is hangin on trying to boot into windows without a specific gfx driver - you want to use a safe mode windows that will automatically use the stock vga driver.

Can't uninstall Ati Drivers to install new card
I can't get into safe mode either. System hangs while showing what is
being loaded and I never get to the vga safe mode. Something must have gotten hosed.
