I'm having problems uninstalling Catalyst 7.9 myself. I started with using their uninstaller in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs. Then restarted in safe mode and removed everything with drivercleaner.net. When I get back in to normal mode I'm still at my normal resolution which usually when you uninstall the video drivers, you come in with 800x600 or something like that. I've tried removing everything that has to do with ATI on my computer but still no luck.

I get the messages that new hardware is found and that I need to install a driver on them so I'm getting rid of it partially. When I try to install a new driver though (tried the latest Omega and tried Catalyst 7.8) my desktop icons won't render all the way. At this point I restart but when I come back in, I'm at 800x600 resolution and with low colors and there's no way for me to get it to improve.

My only option so far has been to go back to 7.9 because at least then I can run but some of my games won't function properly and I can't open up the Catalyst Control Center. It's running because I see it in the task manager but nothing happens except a brief hour glass next to my pointer when I try to open it.
