I wanted to update my graphics driver so i used the display driver removal tool. When the removal process was completed, i downloaded the latest amd driver and installed it. When it was done, i got this message when i tried to open the ccc: AMD Catalyst Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD Catalyst Control Center.

So i tried this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2284749/completely-uninstall-amd-nvidia-gpu-drivers.html guide to remove the drivers. When i had done all that stuff, i installed a bit older driver, the 14.4 instead of 14.12[/code]. When it got done installing the driver, i got this message: installation complete warnings occurred during installation. When i open the log, this is what it says:
