I can't remember exactly, and I'm at work so I can't go look, but recently I tried to update my driver for my x1950xt and had the same problem. After a hard reboot I tried again, but made sure that nothing beside the driver was being installed (you might have to select advanced install option). This seemed to work, and no freezing.
