Hi, yesterday i installed the 14.2 beta driver for my amd card and all worked perfectly... but today after i booted my pc it was like a fresh instal of windows, almost everything was deleted (saved games,desktop icons,desktop colours change..) basicaly it was like a fresh install of windows (i have win 8.1 btw). The first thing that appeared when it booted was an amd catalyst box that said that there were some changes done to my pc and let me choose 2 option ( dont remember them quite well), one to keep my current settings and the other one to make changes in my catalyst controll center, i didn't knew what to do so i closed it and like i said before it was like a fresh instal of win. Anyway i managed to restore my pc with system restore ( it reverted my gpu driver to version 13.5 or something like that) but i wonder if anybody had ever had this type of situation and if i reinstal my driver update again will it happen again? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks

the thing is this beta driver enables mantle, i just hope they release a stable driver soon, anyway it gave me a minor panic attack after seeing that my skyrim saved games were deleted :) )
