Re: I got a clistart.exe-bad image error message!

I just finished backing up all files incase something goes wrong.I was in the device manager when i noticed that ati radeon hd 3800 series display adapter was not enabled.I enabled it,then got a found new hardware dialog window with three options...

1.locate and install driver software(recommended)
2.Ask me again later
3.Don't show this message again for this device

What i want to know is do i use option 1 above to install drivers for my video card or is it better to download ati catalyst 9.6 from ati website and install that instead?

Also,i noticed an ati technologies folder in c:\program files(x86).I found ati related folder in c:\users\administrator\appdata\local
" "\roaming

I found possible ati related files in different directories of and in c:\windows

Should i delete the three ati related folders?Or are they necessary and shouldn't be deleted?What do i do with the files i found in c:\windows?I don't want to do something stupid and need guidance.


Also,my default sound had changed from speakers high definition audio device to digital output device(hdmi) 2-high definition audio device.I reset the default to speakers.Have sound back!Just thought you should know incase there's a connection with my video card driver issues or the blue screen events of yesterday.
