ATI Display Driver update issues for HD 4870 x2
Hey guys im having alot of trouble updating display drivers for my cards (crossfire 4870x2) im not a tech head or expert by any means the installation and restart itself go fine as far as i can see but once the pc has restarted i find that i still have the drivers that came with the card installed or at least being used.

Driver Packaging Version 8.62-090520m1-081756C-ATI
Catalyst™ Version 09.6
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.909
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0001
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0671
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.8673
Catalyst™ Control Center Version 2009.0520.1631.27815

The Drivers themselves arent updating.

The only thing that is getting updated is the control center and yes, i have tried downloading and installing the 9.6 drivers on their own. Im sure its probably something minor and obvious but i cant figure it out.

What are you using to report your display drivers? Have you tried completely uninstalling the Catalyst drivers, running a driver cleaner and then installing the new catalyst drivers?

Catalyst drivers are good at not updating.

Make sure you completely uninstall the drivers and utilities and restart (it will assume VGa mode during this stage) and then do a clean install.

Its often a good idea to go ahead and boot into safe mode so the VGA driver won't be used at the same time you're trying to update it.
