    Hey
    Does anyone know how I should clean the screen, lid and palmrest of my M17x? Would a damp cloth be sufficient?

    Also, does anyone know why the Catalyst 10.3 beta drivers won't install? It completes the install process, comes up with errors but won't say what they are and when I reboot it seems the installation process has done nothing - the drivers aren't there.

    Thanks

    For cleaing, I have a screen creaner bottle, and use a clean cloth.

    For the Catalyst, I had the same problem when I tried to install it without uninstalling the factory one. Had to Uninstall the old one, then install the 10.3 to make it work

    Ok thanks

    Now with uninstalling the default drivers, do you just use the ATI Catalyst Install Manager? Because the thing is, it doesn't uninstall...it is so annoying

    Thx

    Ok I uninstalled the original drivers (they seemed to be gone anyway - games were still working fine)
    But when I install the new ones, it comes up saying there were errors - but when I click to view the log, the errors field is blank...the installation seemed to have done nothing.
    Idk whats wrong :confused:

    I think I may leave it until 10.3 is actually released properly.
