You should ALWAYS reboot when uninstalling and reinstalling a video driver.

This is my method:

1. Uninstall Omega driver setup files.
2. Uninstall RadLinker and MultiRes.
3. Uninstall actual ATi driver installation.
4. Reboot into safe mode.
5. Run driver cleaner, manually remove left over folders (if any).
6. Reboot into normal mode.
7. Install latest drivers.
8. Reboot and configure.
9. Benchmark and enjoy.
