I have ATI Mobility Raedon HD 5470 in my Sony VAIO laptop and it was running with old driver. My laptop was little bit slow so I decided to install the latest driver of ATI Mobility Raedon HD 5470. and I went to ATI Catalyst Auto detect page downloaded the latest one and installed. After installation it detected the display driver as ATI Mobility Raedon HD 5000 Series. After that it shows something Graphics driver stopped working.
After that I was unable to start most of programs (like VLC Player, Photoshop, Corel Draw etc). When I start any program it Crashes and shows stopped working so I thought that may be this is due to new driver and I uninstalled the latest version and re-installed the old version successfully. but the problem was still there. I tried so many things but it didn't worked then I took the help of superuser forum.
