Ati Catylyst Won't Update Drivers

Update ATI catalyst graohics card drivers.

ATI catalyst based graphic cards use the ATI driver software to manage video drivers on your PC. If you are trying to update the drivers yourself using the Windows Update utility or are manually updating your drivers in the Device Manager utility, you will run into problems during the update. Windows will search for the drivers it believes are best, but it does not use the most up to date drivers that are provided on the ATI website. Be sure to download the right drivers and use the ATI Catalyst Control Center to correctly update your video drivers and software.
