Ok, so just about 10 minutes ago I right-clicked my desktop to hit the context menu shortcut for CCC, and before I even clicked on the shortcut my screen flashed black for a couple of seconds, and when it came back my icons at the screen edges are now half cut off, and I've completely lost sight of my taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Since I was getting ready to install the 9.2 cats anyway, I went ahead and dl'd them and uninstalled the 9.1s through the new package. Once the drivers were uninstalled, and prior to rebooting, my screen came back to normal. So I rebooted and proceeded to install the 9.2s, and wouldn't ya know it, I'm back to missing half of each icon and all of my taskbar again.

Everything appears to be maintaining aspect ratio, it seems as though something just decided to zoom in a little bit. I didn't see any options in ccc for screen position or anything similar, does it sound like corrupted drivers or something?

I would remove all drivers, re-boot and then start over with the installation.Rremove the drivers using control panel or the uninstallAll.exe in the ATI program folder.

I'm not sure what the driver did on its own, but I was able to fix the problem by going into the HDTV Support section and applying the 1080p60 format. Why it didn't like it being set through windows display settings all of a sudden I have no idea, but if it acts up again I'll for sure re-uninstall and install the drivers again. :shrug:
