Catalyst 12.8 WHQL

[dnr]

Gents,

After updating my AMD Catalyst to 12.8 COD launcher crashes straight away to a black screen freeze that requires a hard reboot. All attempts to start CoD result in a crash. When I tried to reinstall the previous version of Catalyst, only the Manager loaded, leaving the 12.8 drivers in place. At this point, CoD will not launch.

I'm reading the previous posts but not tracking exactly which files to un-install. Following the advice above I see the following listed under the Custom uninstall:

AMD APP SDK Runtime
AMD Display Driver (I'm assuming this is the chipset driver referred to above)
ADMI/DP Audio Driver
AVIVO
HydraVision
AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding
ADM Drag and Drop Transcoding
ADM Media Foundation Transcoding
AMD VISON Engine Control Center

So of the two files to be excluded during the un-install, I'm not sure which one represents the AHCI drivers identified by Bird Dog?

I screwed up the Catalyst drivers once before and it took two days working on a black screen to fix my mistakes. Don't want to go through that again so any help would be appreciated. In the meantime, 12.8 has killed COD for me.
