I'm almost to the point of insanity with this. I have no idea how I can explain this coherently.
My current drivers are quite out of date, and so I finally figured I go through the task (yes, I always encounter SOME issue when updating) of updatin them. So, I go to the ATI site, put my card info in, and get the download suite containing all the updated stuff. Here comes the problem. I can't even use any of it!
You see, I can download the package onto my desktop, and upon clicking it, it prompts me to pick a location for the download. I use the default "C:/ATI/Support" file, and it seems to download it all in there correctly. Then, well, thats it. Thats all it does. It automatically closes the download window, and I am left with nothing. I can go investigate the ATI/Support file, and see all the downloaded goodies, all of which are useless to me. I am at a loss.
Here is where CIM (Catalyst Install Manager) comes in. If I click any of the items in the file, it gives me an error saying "Failed to access Catalyst Install Manager engine. Please ensure that no other instances of Catalyst Install Manager are currently running". This confuses me greatly, becuase I did have not witnessed the CIM running to begin with. What also leads me to believe CIM is the issue, is that CIM does not appear in my Add or Remove programs list.
The gist of it is, I can't even begin to update my driver, much less anything else becuase nothing pops up.
Please, please if anyone knows why this is happening, and better yet, how to fix it I would REALLY appreciate the advice. I am struck dumb by this, and Googling it brings me no answers.
