On my new XPS Laptop, the video card is an ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB. Naturally, I wanted to update the drivers ASAP. Now I can't access the Catalyst Control Center!
EDIT: NVM, I fixed it by reinstalling THREE TIMES.

And that is why I wouldn't even trust AMD/ATI with a puppy. With Nvidia, it just (doesn't always but most of the time) works.

Something tells me that the first two times you didn't have .NET installed (though if you have Win 7 it should already be there)

Or it kills your fan. :P
I've been using ATI for a couple years now and haven't had one issue. They HAD a bad reputation for drivers, but get over it, people. Times can change. :P

Do you use the one thats like all in one package install?
I always have problems installing that one...
fixed it by first uninstalling the current display driver, then catalyst and then installing the new display driver and then the new catalyst, its on a desktop tho so i dunno if theres any difference

I'll just say that because of the hell I've been through getting a Mobility Radeon X2300 HD to work properly under Win7 64-bit, I probably won't buy an HD Radeon 5850 or similar card. It was either broken resolution scaling options or BSoDs and OpenGL black screen flickering.
However, NVIDIA doesn't always get it right either. 196.75 and its wonky fan problems aside, there's the GeForce 4 MX, the whole GeForce FX line (I went ATI back then because you'd have to be braindead to even think of going NVIDIA with those cards), and now the Fermi/GTX 4*0 lineup being hot and power-hungry.
I guess I'll be sticking with my 8800 GT for a while longer.
