Hi there and welcome to DriverHeaven!

The newest ati/amd drivers just leaves the installation manager on the uninstall programs menu. Do you have ati icon in the taskbar? And does the Catalyst Control Center folder show up in the All Programs meny in start menu?

Ok, your card is PCI-E card? since the drivers has some issues with AGP cards.
And you have removed the drivers using the ati installation utility's uninstall feature??

With an AGP card, you will need to use CATALYST drivers 7.5 or 7.6 or possibly the latest Omegadrivers.

There are known issues with AGP cards on all other versions beginning with driver 7.7. So, do NOT try to install any drivers from 7.7 - 7.12. The latest Omegadrivers are based on 7.12 but use an older file to -- in some cases -- make AGP to work.

Good luck!

All we know is that Omegadriver is working on a version for Vista. But, there's no ETA on when they'll be ready.
