Removing the driver completely will mean Windows has to use the standard VGA driver which is 640x480, very low quality. The instructions below are for if you want to remove the current driver and install the latest driver.

Download ATI Catalyst 8.3 for Vista 32bit from here.

Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager. Click the [+] next to Display Adapters, right click the graphics card entry and select Uninstall.

Close down all windows and programs. Reboot and keep tapping F8 while the computer is starting until you see the Advanced Options menu. Select VGA mode. When Windows has finished loading, the display will look strange. This is only temporary while using the standard VGA driver. Disable your antivirus and install the new driver. Reboot to complete.

Note: If you decide to install just the driver, you can use ATI Tray Tools which does basically the same job as the Catalyst Control Center, but uses less system resources.

If it's working, then it's installed right.
