    Sometimes. Could be remanants from the old drivers, usually drivecleaner takes them out.

    Uninstall the ati driver and ccc and restart. Then try again. If you dont remove the ati drivers and restart then it wont install because the installer already sees a driver. I standard vga driver is basically when the ati driver is isnt installed and it uses a universal driver. That makes the hardware in a ready state to accept a driver made for it.
