Solve : ATI graphics drivers gone after windows update!?! help!?

Answer»

I have been having an issue with an update that came out for my ATI display driver from windows update. It was an optional update that fixed a problem with my external monitor but now my laptop doesn't seem to be recognising the previous ATI graphics drivers it had installed. The catalyst control centre doesn't have any of the features like display and audio options, it now only SHOWS the hydra grid options. My computer also seems to think that nothing is wrong. It is very noticeable in gaming and I cannot find anything to help with this ANNOYING problem. I have already system restored my computer the first time to get it fixed but there has to be a different way of fixing this issue. So please if anyone knows anything that can help that would be greatly appreciated.
