ATI DRIVERS REGISTRY CLEANUP

[D33]

hey guys,
after removing my Geforce2MX, and installing the radeon8500, my windows registry messed up, and now i have unexplained crashes under games.
my OS is XP, i have the catalyst 2.1 drivers(simply because the 2.2, or 2.3 were horrible)
so i am looking for a good program that could clean up registry errors under WINXP.
any suggestions??
thanks

First of all, there's no way to clean up these "registry errors", because they're not simply a couple of entries that you can delete to fix your problem. I faced that problem while making my ATIMax app (which I later abandoned due to lack of time, and the complexity it turned out to be). Really nothing can match reformatting and reinstalling WinXP. Secondly, the Catalyst 2.1 weren't that great in terms of performance. I'd wholeheartedly recommend the Catalyst 2.3s. They are equally stable (actually they are more stable in games like UT2K3) and they're quite a bit faster in a few games.

Nooo! Is ATImax completly abandoned?

Maybe not completely. I've been thinking of rewriting it in VB.NET. The things I want to do in it will be easier to do through the .NET framework in VB.NET than it is to do with the Windows API through Delphi 5.
