So I'm going through my programs to see what can be removed to clean up my system a bit. I'm in the control panel under 'uninstall programs' and looking at the list. Now I've been using a Nvidia card for over a year now, I don't want *anything* at all related to ATI on my computer. I swear to god I went through and removed all my ATI drivers prior to installing my Nvidia card though...
Anyways, the problem is it offers "repair or change" as options, no uninstall. So I go through the "change" process, it searches my computer for ATI related software, and tells me there is none and that the process is finished, and sends me back to the "uninstall programs" list.
My problem is that, obviously, there ARE programs on my computer that are ATI related, as the program I'm using to try and uninstall them are...... ATI...... This is shit I'd expect from malware, not a major company like ATI/AMD. I'm super unimpressed right now that I have to go to a forum and ask this. I'm pretty computer literate, I've done a few google searches but all I get are people trying to install it, not uninstall it.
This might seem petty, but shit like this is why I won't go back to AMD. It's insane that a full year later there's still ATI crap on my computer, and it's insane that going through windows control panels 'uninstall program' can't remove it. Again, that's what I'd expect from Malware. If any developer made removing their program this hard I would avoid their products in the future.
