You need to reinstall your video card drivers.

Re: removed needed program!!! ATI

hey again,
go START > RUN... > type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter...
Under Display check what make/model is your graphic card...
Or you can try like this:

go START > RUN... > type DXDIAG and hit Enter...
Click Yes...
On display tab what is model of your graphic card???

This could be visible if drivers for graphic card is not completely removed...
We must know what make/model is graphic card...
We know it is ATI but we need to know more...
Also, on graphic card there should be white sticker or something similar that points what model is [like X1550Pro, HD2600 etc...]

Report back please...
