No, that looks just about right. I think I did the install in safe mode also- not sure. There is an sdditional tool called cab cleaner -recommended nut not essential. I didn't use it. Below is the readme procedure from driver cleaner:
"Driver Cleaner 1.5

--------------------------------------------
First Time Usage for XP/XP SP1
--------------------------------------------
ATI:
1. Unplug nic card or modem from net or disconnect
2. Remove ATI driver from add/remove programs then remove CP from add/remove programs
3. Reboot into safe mode (F8 during boot up)
4. On reboot into safe mode winXP SP1 will auto detect and install drivers. Just let it do its thing. If you can cancel out of the auto install hardware wizard then skip the rest and run Driver Cleaner! If you can NOT cancel out of auto detect wizard then...
5. Navigate to device mgr->display adapter->uninstall and/or remove ATI display adapter but do not reboot
6. Run Cab Cleaner (not needed, but recommended)
7. Run Driver Cleaner
8. Empty recycle bin and reboot
9. Install the new drivers and control panel"
I foolowed these instructions to the letter; try it again
Good luck
