DamentZ is on a distinguished road

ati suggestion

I noticed that on the omega drivers you have the option to reinstall or install your drivers through the start menu, i was wondering if ati could create one similar to that. It would have as the first option "Repair Graphics Card", and this would reinstall your display drivers, return any overclocked graphics cards to stock speed, and restore default settings. Do you think this would be possible?

Rebooting returns your clockspeeds to the BIOS (Read: Default) speeds.

Theres no way (save for overdrive which is different) that a stock driver will keep OC'ed settings.

Why can you just goto
C:\ATI\Support\(DRIVER Version String)\setup.exe
And re run the install ??? Or into the wanted folders to reinstall just a part

If you fry you card do to o/cing no driver will fix it."Repair Graphics Card"
It resets things But not overclocks that you applied with 3rd part tools
! You have to unset. set to default or remove said programs. ATI2mag.sys
requires modding just to o/c anyways other wise stock clocks are used in
3d apps on pretty much all cards.
