| Re: Cat 9.6 Drivers Released Did my usual of using the Control Panel to uninstall----then boot into safe mode and use Driver Sweeper to get rid of any left behinds.... Then booted normally and installed the 9.6 Drivers and all is well.... Can't see any real differences from the Cat 9.5s, but haven't played a lot with this driver yet.

| Re: Cat 9.6 Drivers Released Did run into one thing.... ATI Overdrive did NOT appear in CCC until I dd a complete shutdown and then reboot. So I recommend that even after the first restart that ATI requires after the driver is loaded.....go ahead and let it do that restart and completely boot up. Then do a shut down----all the way down and then reboot. ATI overdrive back and functioning....
