ATI Drivers

sporedude

Trying to upgrade my graphics card drivers via the ATI website, Installer starts then tells me I need administrator rights, Checked the PC and I've already got those?

Any ideas?

Switch off your security whilst you attempt the install

Nope, Not got Windows Anti Virus on, Switched off AVG too.

Put the file on your desktop ready and install in SAFE MODE

Are you using Vista? if so right click the installer for the driver and select "Run as Adminitrator"

Nope using XP, Tried to access safemode there, Pressed F8 too soon and the bios screen picked it up, gonna try again.

Oops ment Firewall!


Nah no luck with safemode atall.

This can sometimes happen if your machines infected

I do use a program to completely remove the CURRENT driver and related software ready to install the new one but reluctant to do so in case you still cant get it to install so id suggest as follows ~

Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
UPDATE and FULL SCAN
Post the log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds


reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

Got there in the end, Tried installing from a differant user account, Ill scan nd post the logs anyway, See if anything flags up
