S!

Codex..strange you have CTDs. I have none so far. I recall the 12.4 were best and some beta before 12.7 were quite bugged. Quite happy with these new ones with CAP 3 intsalled.

Argh ... Reason why I was getting CTD ... forgot to install the chipset drivers.

I can't believe I made such noob mistake

Hey Guys

I still have a pre-CCC driver installed and today I dare to try to install Catalyst Control Center. Can I count on your help? I predict I will need it

Any Tips to properly uninstall the old driver?

Thanks in advance!

S!

Just use control panel and uninstall old drivers. Reboot and install new ones. Some install on top of old ones without trouble.

Hey

Thanks!

I just uninstall the old drivers, also using programms like Driver Cleaner etc.

After that i rebooted, and it looked like the old driver weren´t there anymore (low resolution). Then Windows informed me that it installed a driver for a standard VGA-Video-Card. I uninstalled this again and rebooted, but it installed this driver automatically again. So I decided to ignore it and installed the 12.8 ATI-Driver which worked out fine.

But:
The Driver-Version in my Hardware-Manager is 8.982.0.0. Catalyst Control Center seems to be installed but i can´t start it. All i get is the load-sign beside the mouse-pointer and nothing happens.

Besides that, I have an old Issue i used to ignore but that I wanted to fix with the new driver: I have a Screen that is big enough to support 1920x1080 but it only uses 1776x1000. The rest is just a black frame, nothing gets displayed at all. If i switch to 1920x1080, I get this resolution on the 1776x1000-space, so the screen looks blurry...

Any ideas at all?

Thank you very much!

S!

Will check some things back home and report back. You could try re-install without uninstall and choose Repair. But checking in a bit later

Thank you a lot!

Something I found meanwhile: If i look at all the Programms installed in the System-Control-planel, I can only find the AMD Catalyst Install Manager. CCC is nowhere but in the menu that appears if you right-click on the desktop....

AND: Just discovered that I don´t use a Driver for my Screen, just the normal PnP-Windows-thing. I found a driver-File in the internet but as it is not a .exe-file I have no idea how to install it....?

S!

The Catalyst install manager controls installation of drivers and related components. They are not displayed individually on the list.

CCC doesn´t run at all on my PC! Do you use a driver for your screen?
