I have problems with catalyst. I need to uninstall it completely in order to reinstall it but I tried many ways to uninstall it using ccleaner, driver sweeper but it only removes some part of catalyst. I need to get rid of the catalyst registry but there are so many of them that I dont know how to delete them all manually!

I really need to fix this problem because now I cant play any games because of it.

Please help!

First, did you by any chance see these posts/instructions: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx
(Lots of useful links there).

And here is a little tip from me (I did this manually after following the steps found on that page).
1. If you still see the "AMD Catalyst Install Manager" listed in the Programs and Features (assuming you're running Windows 7), then
2. Click on "AMD Catalyst Install Manager" and click on "Change"
3. The application will start, and will give you an option to do one of these: Uninstall Manager, Repair Catalyst Install Manager, Express Unistall...
4. Select Uninstall Manager

Before rebooting your system, make sure to download the latest driver (I'm assuming you're planning to install Catalyst 14.1 Beta or the newest one we just released, the 14.2 Beta)

Once downloaded, reboot your system; then double click on the driver you have just downloaded to start the installation process.

Hope this helps! :)
