    Give drivercleaner a go if you can, if not have another shot at installing modified 9.12's, with the custom option (to see whats installing)

    Then if that goes sucessful re-use the 9.12s in uninstall (custom mode) to make sure all of its going out and hopefully this will straighten a few things up.

    Im not sure flashing the cards will fix anything.

    Kcuk, try some stock AW drivers

    (sorry did you try uninstall from device manager, then manually cancel the automatic driver installation?)

    Your cards arent broken, you just broke your windows by installing so many drivers and not removing old drivers, i bet thats the problem.

    Have you followed the instructions i posted yesterday step-by-step?

    And why did you install chipset drivers? Thats not needed at all...

    If all else fails, reinstall windows :D

    Yeah its 100% registry (From experience of doing the exact same thing.)

    Although this was back when we had to manually mod 4850 drivers (instead of waiting for mobility modder to update.)

    Ofcourse kcuk, take it easy and enjoy the days with the family.

    In the next few days try it again, and if you cannot get it fixed, backup your important files and just reinstall windows again....i think that would be the best option.
