Submit a solution I found for a problem report

There should be a feature to add additional information or a solution to a
Problem Report that's been submitted. I have solved a few of the Problem
Reports I've submitted myself and would send them in if I could. And
additional information on a problem may help to explain the situation better
for the people who figure the solutions out.

I was having problems installing the ATI catalyst drivers. The Catalyst
Install Manager kept crashing during the installation. It pointed to the
mfc80u.dll so I did research and found it was linked to Visual Studio C++.
Finally I decided to check the Program Uninstall list and there were 3
different Visual Studio C++ Redistributables installed. I just uninstalled
all 3 and everything worked fine

If you want it here's the full crash report:
