there's one more thing after u install ati catalyst 7.5 ..u have to change this setting ..cuz the screen doesnt look right..the colours look saturated..maybe im the only one facing this problem..but heres the solution
So, fiddling a bit more, I discovered the bug . open catalyst control center.Put it back on PC Standard B&W levels, and then go to 'Monitor Properties 0' and go to the Avivo Color section. Adjust either the Hue or Saturation by 1 either way, and the colors will jump back to what they should be (even before you hit apply!), and hit apply. Repeat if you have other displays.
Now if you want to see how wrong the MCE B&W setting really was, you can try applying that again... you'll see it's nothing you wanted.:p
