Hello!

I'm hoping I'm not the only one to have this issue, I keep getting this error when I go into Display in CP and navigate the Radeon tabs:
"An error has occurred which Windows was working with the Control Panel file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DESK.CPL"

Desk.cpl is 4.72.3110.0 , I've tried replacing it from the CAB files, but it doesn't help sadly.

When I modded the Catalyst 6.2 driver to install I had no such trouble, but the features in the Omega 2637 driver are pretty attractive.

Thanks for any input!

To circle back and help anyone else having this issue, make sure you that if you previously installed another Catalyst driver that you fully replace old (or new) files during the driver install phase of the Omega set, after that, it'll resolve this issue, I missed a few prompts to replace newer files with older ones and that broke things in the Display panels.
