Question Left over ATI files after uninstall

[turkeypets]

I just switched from a ATI Radeon card to a Nvidia card.
I ran the ATI uninstaller and deleted the Catalyst Control Center from Programs and Features before i installed the Nvidia card and then installed the Nvidia driver.

I just noticed a ATI process running --

Ati2evxx.exe​

I read its part of the ATI Catalyst Control Center.

I went into administartive tools, services and disabled it.

Should it remove it? and should i remove it through services or through Autoruns?

I also opened uo Autoruns and found two more ATI files--

R300 (a ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver)

atikmdag.sys (also a ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, opens with unknown application)

The timestamps shows in Autoruns as 10/12/2006

I just reinstalled Windows a year ago and always ran a Nvidia card that came with this computer. So why would there be two ATI files with that date?
I believe 2006 is the date this computer (HP m9250f) was made.

Is it safe to delete these 2 files through Autoruns?

Do i need to go into the registry and look for leftover ATI files?

Use DDU instead.

Go ahead and run ddu anyway. Remove ati and nvidia drivers then reinstall nvidia drivers that way you are sure that you don’t have any after effects.
