Which Category dor a "Driver Clean-up" Program

My AMD Tech Support person sent me for this, here --> http://www.afterdawn.com/software/security/system_cleanup/driver_cleaner_pro.cfm

to clean-up AMD Catalyst v12.3 which has been totally problematic trying to upgrade from.

I searched for Driver-Cleaner-Pro here at Majorgeeks (basically to check it out, first, and then perhaps look for an alternative), and I get this page-->
http://majorgeeks.com/geek_search.h...59-1&q=Driver+Cleaner+Pro+v1.5&sa.x=28&sa.y=7

however, I don't know which category a "driver cleaner" program would fall into here. Would ""Revo" handle this job, please?

 

Whoa! LIGHTNING-QUIK - Thanks!

 

Yeah, thanks again..though I appreciate the correction, now I'm less confident on how to proceed.

Here is what AMD sent me:

Dear Glenn,

We have released our new driver it not called 12.7 it now 12.8 driver.
I would like you to uninstall 12.3 and install 12.8 provided in the link below.

Thank you for the reply, however, I need a slight clarification on your
instructions.

You said:

/"I would suggest that you keep using the 12.3 driver until the 12.7
driver gets released"/, but then continued;

/"To uninstall the corrupt driver follow the steps below, once complete
install the 12.3 driver listed below."/
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownlo...px?os=Windows Vista - 64-Bit Edition&rev=12.3
<http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/previous/12/Pages/radeon.aspx?os=Windows%20Vista%20-%2064-Bit%20Edition&rev=12.3>

Am I to uninstall/reinstall 12.3 "now", and then wait for the 12.7
release, or wait for 12.7, the uninstall/reinstall 12.3 just prior to
installing 12.7, please?

Thanks again and in advance,
Glenn . . .
