    Um, is anyone else having a problem updating their ATI drivers for the Studio 15? I followed the guide posted on these forums, and let the ATI driver (and also tried the driver+CCC) installation extract and then fail...but then afterwards I cannot find the 8.11 driver. It's not showing up in the \ATI\Support folder, or anywhere else for that matter.

    Any help?

    I did follow that guide. Stuck on step 5 - the driver is not in the folder to mod.

    And I don't remember coming across the overdrive option on my current CCC...but it's uninstalled too, so can't really check

    It does, and yes, it is wierd. It's driving me insane. The driver has to be on the harddrive somewhere, but even running Driver Cleaner and going over what's been deleted it's not listed on either ATI install package (just the driver and the driver+CCC+WDM).
