Ok and how do I install then correctly? Don't I have to uninstall the drivers that are already installed and install the new ones? If so, how do I completely uninstall them?

This might be what you are looking for..

Edit: ops, didn't update the thread. I believe opening the install will allow you to first uninstall.

I am not that familiar with AMD drivers as I have Intel and Nvidia but there should be a clean install option or similar at amd too. Otherwise, just install it on top of the other and it should be ok.


RE: Weird Brightness issue - Brosive - 02-22-2013

Ok it doesn't uninstall the old ones, so I how do I uninstall them manually?


RE: Weird Brightness issue - plutomaniac - 02-22-2013

yes, from control panel.

Ok, I just uninstall the drivers and updated them and now my video device says "AMD Radeon HD 7500 Series (Microsoft Corparation - WDDM v1.20)" is that normal?


RE: Weird Brightness issue - plutomaniac - 02-23-2013

where does it say that? At device manager? Install the drivers from the amd setup.

Alright then, does the game work now? Well, if you have catalyst installed then you should be just fine.

Well, I already downloaded these before and basically had the same thing but, it would happen everyday, in the afternoon, my PC would start to lag, and then I get a black screen and then it would recover saying my display adapters stopped responding and have recovered. I will basically see if it worked later today.

Edit: I got the error again while playing Amnesia. I don't think this error is going to stop until I upgrade my graphics card. Also, I don't see my Control Center anymore, how do I get it back?
