If you're gpu drivers are updated to the latest patch then it's fine. But to be firm you should check on the amd website if this 14.4 is the latest driver release for the whatever gpu you have.

Why can't you access the amd website? No internet connection

Uninstall the current driver then go to the amd website.

search for your most current driver for your card.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

select which categories your graphics card comes under.

Follow this.

 

Then this.

 

I usually just download the updated driver (currently 14.4) and run it without uninstalling, I have no issues.

Honestly, I don't even bother uninstalling, just download 14.4, double click and let it install.

ok i have some sort of a wierd installer (think its off the disc, i didnt know when i built it) but its not catalyst, ok i will just install it, does it affect by not un installing

My Setup :P
