    Hello. I've read an instruction how to do a clean install, specifically for my video card driver (AMD CCC 12.4). But first, i did a system restore point just to make sure. OK, i did:
    1. Uninstalled the video card driver.
    2. Reboot.
    3. Executed Driver Sweeper.
    4. Analyzed and clean traces of the video card driver.
    5. Reboot.
    6. Install AMD CCC 12.4, successfully.
    7. SOMETHING WENT WRONG... :(

    I checked the device manager and found out that both of my IntelHD and AMD drivers are unknown. (!) And i tabbed on the properties and found out the driver is not working properly due to the registry corrupted or damaged (Code 19).

    Good thing i kept a system restore and brought my system back to normal.
    Please tell me if i did anything wrong in doing a clean install.

    after the first reboot did you boot back into safe mode (F8 on startup) to run driver sweeper.
    the above is exactly how i do it for my nvidia drivers but im not sure if ati/amd is done differently as never used them cards.
