So i finally got my 6850 back, went in and installed the drivers, played some games. Its working great. I notice that the fans are running a little high, so i go to CCC to change them, and when I click on CCC, Nothing happens. My cursor spins for a couple seconds, then nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, Including once in safe mode. I'm at my wits end here. I need CCC!
Go to a previous version maybe?
i've rolled back to 10.x didnt help.
i had this same issue when i flashed my bios. i even went back tot he original bios and still had the issue. i just kept messing with ti uninstalling it and running cc cleaner and drive sweeper to get it to work. ccc has a mind of its own sometimes.
yay... well I guess I'm reinstalling my OS this weekend... Again. I guess I'm due though...
yeah ive had to do that far to many times in the past 2 months. it all should work fine after you reinstall everything.Quote:

I installed the software that was included with the video card, including an earlier version of Catalyst Control Center, and CCC worked perfectly well, but when I upgraded to a newer version of the program, it would not open. This is even more unusual because when I performed the same upgrade on a different computer, the new version of CCC would function normally.
For further information, here are the relevant specifications of the two computers that I am using.
Computer 1
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 945, 3 gigahertz
Operating System: Windows 7 Home edition (64-bit version)
Memory: 4 gigabytes (2 X 2 gigabytes) DDR3 SDRAM, dual-channel
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 4870, 1 gigabyte GDDR5, 256-bit interface
Computer 2
Processor: I actually cannot recall its exact specifications, and I do not have it with me currently, but it is a quad-core Intel processor with an operating frequency of 2.6 gigahertz.
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional edition (32-bit version)
Memory: 4 gigabytes (2 X 2 gigabytes) DDR2 SDRAM
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 4300/4500, 512 megabytes GDDR3
I installed the earlier version of Catalyst Control Center on both computers, and it functioned without problems on both of them, and I then upgraded the program on each of them, but it then functioned on only the second computer. I thought that it may have been because I was running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on the first one, but I had been certain to download the 64-bit version of the program, and it had functioned perfectly well before. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program and drivers more than once, but that did not resolve my problem, either, so I am not entirely certain what else I should do. If anyone can assist me on this subject, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
Q6600 is your proc in question.
Yes, now that you have stimulated my memory, I do recall that that is the processor that my second computer has. Did you know by the specifications that I provided, and is it relevant to this subject?Quote:

The drivers for my video card work perfectly well; it is the program that allows me to change custom settings for my video card that is not working. Whenever I attempt to open it, either nothing at all happens, or I receive an error message. It is very annoying, so I am hoping that I can resolve it relatively easily and painlessly.Quote:
