Yes, for the uninstall, manual uninstall, and install, and it still wouldn't
install.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times but I get the same error.
I've installed new drivers several times before, and they have always
installed normally, but for some reason they won't this time.

I've tried that several times, selecting every single option, and none work,
with that method I get 'There was a problem installing this hardware:
RADEON 9800 PRO
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The system cannot find the file specified.'

I've tried it by pointing to several different driver versions, but always
get the same error message, Is there any way I can find out what file is
being specified and does anyone have any more suggestions?

Thanks, but I've already tried that.

Do you have Anti Virus software enabled? ATI says to disable it if you do or
drivers may not install correctly. BUT I have had no real problems if I
forget to turn it off

Have you tried installing from safe mode? Not sure if you can but sometimes
safe mode will let you install things easier. Others may know if this will
work.
