    Wow, ATI graphics hardware products might be good, but they're software install/ uninstall stability is some of the crappiest I've come across.

    I've had numerous issues trying to get the correct version of Catalyst Control Center to install for use with my graphics card, and recently a Windows 7 update overrode the version I had installed with the latest release.

    The problem is that the latest catalyst no longer includes the "reduce DVI frequency on high resolution displays" setting that I need to get my old LCD monitor to run smoothly in 1600 x 1200.

    Anyways - now I can't get ATI Catalyst Install Manager to uninstall. I choose the express "uninstall all" option, but no luck.

    Any ideas?

    Try rebooting your PC and then re-attempting the uninstall. Or - use the Windows cleanup utility and try again. Make sure you don't have two ATI software products installed in different locations.

    Ok, it's uninstalling now. But it's stuck on "Currently Uninstalling: ATI Display Driver..." and keeps looping? I've waited about 15 minutes and it's still going - I have a feeling it's stuck...

    Dealing with ATI installations can be a real hassle, especially if you need to install an older version (as we have done on one of our own systems).

    In your case, your best bet may be to use Windows System Restore to simply restore the system to the point before the new ATI Catalyst driver was installed.

    If that's not an option, consider the driver cleaner software from DriverCleaner.net. It has several "ATI" presets you can run to completely remove ATI software. Use caution, however, and consider creating a system restore point prior to removal.
