Yes, the ATI Catalyst program uses .NET, but the driver doesn't need it. So
you end up having to do a two stage install when you're having problems like
this - the first, in safe mode, to get the driver in. Then, once it comes up
and is working, you can install the full package to get the extra Catalyst
features if you want them.
