That's a pain but probably OK. The Cleaner program probably removed the file fragments but didn't remove the link in Add Reomve Programs (which isn't a big deal).

If you've removed everything S3 Savage, I'd remove and re-install the ATI drivers and see what is happening. Check the device manager and see if it is happy with all the drivers.

And if that doesn't work it may be easier to do a fresh install. There are other thigs that can be done, but you start getting into the "riskier/more time comsuming/better chance of fubaring everything anyways" type of solutions.

(BTW: I did have a similar issue once and the proble was the virus checker. They have been known to cause video driver issues. In my case, it prevented the system from booting. That was with an X800Pro and Kaspursky AV)
