Proper way to change Radeon/AMD Video Card drivers.

1. Go here, and follow the directions: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx#windows7 ...alt link: http://tinyurl.com/7bfbm75

2. Get the driver detection tool here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/autodetect.aspx ...alt link: http://tinyurl.com/3suzmgo

3. Use the driver Detection App you previously downloaded, to download and install the right driver for your OS and vid card.

4. Then do a quick "Windows Update" for any compatibility patches, etc.

/EDIT: Apparently Driver Sweeper doesn't remove all ATI Display driver files anymore. So use THIS method instead.
