Out of many reasons for this cause one is Lack of Installation of patches for your operating system windows.

Most of time we got this error because of the above mentioned reasons, so if we want to resolve this issue we may have to re-install our windows with latest updates and to fully configure it with other software.

Or on the other hand there may be any virus attack on your system files and may be that this virus has corrupted your registry files.

So please after re-installation of window please install any reliable antivirus and then install your desired ATI Driver.
