Worried (Cat3.6)

I installed Cat 3.6 from the bundle download. I didn't previously
uninstall, and the bundle .exe installed the components in a different
order than that recommended by the good folks in this group, AND only
rebooted after all had been installed.

Everything appears to work fine.

This has me worried, as I've read a LOT of complaints that the Cat drivers
do not working unless the old drivers are uninstalled, and the new one
installed in a very specific order, some followed by reboots and some not.

Is there anything I should do to confirm all is fine, or should I just
count my blessings? :)

when i switched from nvidia to ati THEN i uninstalled everything to vga first, and went
through the registry and c:\windowsXPpro\system32 folder and removed all references to
nvidia - before i installed my first ati. that is the only caveat i see with this
uninstall/install routine rumour. I've had to uninstall rage3d tweak and powerstrip with
each new ati i get. Those just seem to screw up some aspect of the ati (most likely nvidia
also). With the cat series (8500,9700 pro, and 9800pro) I have not had to uninstall the
control panel or drivers first. While I don't think i have to because this ati is so
slick, i still consider myself lucky - but that's just me. I think it'll still take a
while until i get over all the hassles the previous mainboards, and sound cards, and bios,
and video cards have caused.

I think "they" have almost gotten their collective acts together.



hope this helps,
