Reinstalling Windows 7
Today I tried to update to the newest ATI Catalyst drivers for my GPU. However… I was instantly reminded of the fact that I can’t install/uninstall with their uninstaller anymore – it crashes silently when I either click ‘Install’ or ‘Remove’ , I think I broke it when I was meeping around with the Visual C++ redistributables when installing Visual Studio 2010.
My Windows 7 RTM installation dates back from August ‘09 and was performing really nice, however it got bloated more and more because I wasn’t really focused at keeping it clean: I was just slapping it around, installing X, removing Y, regediting this just so I could continue with my projects etc. That’s why I decided to just do a clean reinstall now, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM. 
I already had my Users folder on the D drive, so I just backed up any other things like Steam savegames etc and reinstalled Windows 7. At the moment I’m reinstalling Windows Live Messenger, WinRAR, Visual Studio, Eclipse, XAMPP etc. Steam games (Garry’s Mod, Half-Life 2 etc) and other games (GTA IV, Bioshock) will follow.
The box runs great again, looking forward to playing Bioshock 2 and GTA IV: Episodes From Liberty City when it’s coming to the PC and PS3 at March 30th! Specs of my PC, built for a mere ~ 500 euros back in April ‘09…

Anyway that’s it, see I promised by making a blogpost soon and even though it isn’t that interesting… I actually made another blog post!
