The inf file will be in the C:/ATI/your driver version folder I hate the CCC because of all the net framework crap

The latest Catalyst version is 11.8, but in device manager.. my latest driver for my ATI Radeon 5800 series card is 8.881 Does this help? I just download the entire Catalyst update package (link johnny posted) and run it. It does it all. I have seen the INF thing too, but my drivers are getting updated. If you browse around on that site, you will see multiple examples of the Catalyst version being different than the actual driver version. Such as.. in the release notes for Catalyst 11.8.. it says: Package ContentThe AMD Catalyst Control Center / AMD Vision Engine Control Center 11.8 software suite contains the following: AMD display driver version 8.881 HydraVision™ for Windows® XP, Windows Vista® and Windows® 7 Southbridge/IXP Driver AMD Catalyst™ Control Center version 8.881 / AMD Vision™ Engine Control Center version 8.881. See... neat! Awards

Oh wait, not on that OS they don't.
