ATI CCC

Can someone actually tell me how to open the CCC in windows 7, desperately needing it SS: http://www.screenshots-archive.com/files/images/Catalyst_Control_Center_8.preview.png

Hey, but T400s has ONLY integrated graphics, you cannot have T400s, but probably T400. Did you install ThinkVantage System Update utility and installed all necessary drivers through this utility?

Re: Equium A210-1C4 - ATI CCC doesn't open on Vista

Recently I have been unable to open the ATI Catalyst Control Centre on my Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 notebook. When I click the CCC icon on the start menu the tray icon opens but when I right click it and choose Catalyst Control Centre nothing happens but the tray icon is still there.
I was having a similar problem a while ago but instead of doing nothing the splash screen appeared and then Vista displayed the message 'ATI CCC has stopped working'.
Any ideas?

Hey,
If Catalyst Control Center wont open it could be something wrong with display driver I would recommend reinstalling the display driver from official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Just search for your notebook model and download the newest version. Before you install it, remove the old one firstly and restart your notebook. Then install the downloaded version.
Does this work for you?

Moderator edit: Fixed typo in subject.

If your computer have switehable graphics the Intel graphics adapter might the active one. Try a switch to the ATI adapter. It's a while since i used switchable graphics, but if you have power manager installed and rightclick the green battery icon in the taskbar you should have an options to switch there unless Lenovo changed this behavior.

Lost ATI CCC after bios update

I clicked on "system update"(ThinkVantage3) in the start menu. Then "get new updates", It recommended a bios update so I installed it. Now, it replaced the ATI CCC icon in the task bar with a Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobility" icon. I checked and it now says I have a ATI FireGL V5700 graphics card as opposed to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 before the update. Also, when I click on the ATI Catalyst Control Center program in the start menu, it says, "ATI CCC cannot be started because the currently active GPU is not supported". How do I fix this? Or, how do I uninstall this update? I can't change the screen resolution or any of the other graphics features.

Hello,
please try to download newest Ati drivers from Lenovo support pages.
Regardings bios update:
Version 1.18-1.01
[Important] An incorrect display adapter name is displayed on ATI FireGL V5700 model (ThinkPad W500). Note: Make sure that you have updated the display driver with the following version before BIOS update. -ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows Vista Version 8.52.4.4-080919a-069896C-Lenovo (7vd535ww) or later or -ATI Display Driver for Windows XP Version 8.503.2.2-080818a-069536C-Lenovo (7yd119ww) or later Or you will be asked for an appropriate driver for a newly found hardware device and the display may be VGA(640x480) mode. In VGA mode, your icon arragement on the desktop will be messed up.
(Fix) The external display may have blank screen when the computer is attached to the Docking Station with the LCD closed and then is powered on.
(Fix) Serial ATA Controller mode option setting is set as wrong value via WMI interface.

Satellite A500-14I - ATI CCC entry is missing

Hi,
I got a Toshiba Satellite A500-14l with a radeon mobility HD4650.
I replace Vista by Windows 7 in september 2009 (thank's to msdnaa), installed the latest driver I found. Few month pass, I decided to update my graphic driver. As you can see, there is no updated driver for Windows 764bit for my laptop model psam3e.
http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=FR give me ati driver 8.563.1.5 or 8.634.1
I wanted to try catalyst 10.7 (8.753) to use ati acceleration with vlc 1.1.1, so I cheat, I pretend my laptop was a L670-psk3ee to get a 8.712.2.1 version of catalyst.
That works great, and this is the only way i found to get an "almost" up-to-date driver. Then I installed the Hydravision from game.amd.com website (because it's not included in toshiba driver).
Now, the CCC entry in the right click is missing, and the hydravision tab is missing in CCC too. I never see this problem before, so if anyone have a idea...
Thank's in advance.
PS:
* Using Windows 7 64bit, up-to-date, except ati driver due to toshiba policy.
* ccc mean Catalyst control center. the shortcut in "all programs" runs fine.
* Hydravision is a usefull tools to manage multi desk and display. As there is no entry in the CCC i can't configure it, but the multi-desk exe works fine too.
Everything runs fine on my computer (not the laptop), so I think the problem came from Toshiba driver (as AMD can't provide the generic one due to specific functionnality added by toshiba, like temperature monitoring & cie). So I'm interesting in the possibility to add CCC in the right-click menu, and add the Hydravision tab to CCC.
ps 2: I already desinstall - clean the registry - reinstall Ati driver & hydravision, it doesn't work.

Because it's solve bug and add feature ? Try to tell ati/nvidia & microsoft to stop updating theirs programs because it's useless, i'm sure they 'll have a good laught.
By the way :
10.7a : add AA in starcraft2.
10.7 : add gpu accelerationfor VLC
10.6: GPU acceleration of H.264 video content using Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Video De-blocking support, Mosquito noise reduction, Official support for OpenGL 4.0 and OpenGL 3.3
10.5 : Support for 120 Hz displays on the ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series and ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series
10.4 : H.264 Level 5.1 support,
10.3: ATI Catalyst support for 3D Stereoscopic glasses (one day maybe, it'll be checked)
Without forgetting all improvement...
So yes, it's not always necessary, but if you can update it times to times (ie when you reinstall windows), it's not a so bad idea...
The "official" driver for my laptop is a catalyst 9.11 like.
But the main matter is still the missing entries. I'll try to bypass toshiba driver, too bad for the warranty : i prefer to use a little more the GPU, and little les the CPU.

How to get ATI catalyst control center.

I'm using mac book pro with bootcamp as well. So i'm using every support software downloaded from windows by Bootcamp. However, i'm missing that ATI CCC which is crucial as i have an extended 2nd display monitor hooked up to my macbook pro. There is a slight gap between the borders and the displays when the highest possible resolution is configured for the 2nd display. I Know i can install ATI CCC on my windows as i've done it before but i've unfortunately formatted my windows without any backups. The recent display drivers from the AMD site doesnt work at all which is also why i use the support softwares from BOOTCAMP. Where can i get the ATI CCC package alone to maximize the resoultion of my 2nd display? or is there another solution to this.
The highest possible resultion for my 2nd display now is 1920x1080 which leaves a gap betweent he borders.
The resolution that fits well into my 2nd display is 1680x1050 which makes everything seems so blurry.
Many thanks.

Let me add. Already tried everything: battery is switched to High Performance, Windows XP service pack 3, T500

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. If you are downloading this from the AMD site it may not work. The video chipset is built by AMD Radeon however it is propriatary. Unless you download the software for the system from the notebooks support site it may not work. As well you have to check to see if that notebook was released or was given windows 7 as an os. Here is the link to the support page. HP Pavilion dv7-6135dx Entertainment Notebook PC - Software and Drivers If your system came with it pre- loaded then you can do a system recovery to get it back.

"Windows 7" on Satellite M100-222 - full discussion

Good day everyone! This post about "Windows 7" on "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222.
Maybe, this method (and like some drivers & utilities) will be successfully apply for others "Satellite" M100 models. Because some models very similar technically. For example, "Satellite" M100-221 & ect. I want to share it & discuss about. Because reliable information and practical guide about it to the Internet is virtually absent... or little information is not fully. I'm having some issues. With these issues I would like to share. Maybe, we will find correct solution together. Please, join... So...
First, update BIOS! This is necessary for "Windows 7" If your BIOS version 3.00, update it - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60;
Before install "Windows 7"... I updated my BIOS (v3.00) to v5.60 - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60
I did it through "Windows" XP Pro x32... Simply executable file, run it & follow steps.
Note:
Two years ago I posted question here (forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com) about my RTC. Clock in BIOS (I forget BIOS version. Original BIOS, I bought my laptop & didn't update BIOS then) was frozen. Sometimes the time indicators worked, sometimes not. Very short time. But the indicators also stood hours. Time goes in system. In BIOS frozen - 13:13:13, for example. Then I update BIOS - v3.00, hopefully that my RTC will work again. Nothing... Two yeras I worked with frozen RTC. Everyday I fixed time in BIOS manually. Seconds are frozen... Sometimes time working... But really time in BIOS was frozen. I knew that is not RTC battery problem. Physycally battery is normal. I knew this is BIOS problem. Because tests revealed it - physycally battery is normal. BIOS no error messages. Such as RTC problem... Some gave advice on the forum, and I'm not a newbie... Nothing... BIOS time was frozen...
Thinking about upgrading BIOS when faced with... "Toshiba" Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32)... During install I receive error message - 0x8146045B
Tried install different versions of "Toshiba" Value added package. Same error... Guessed to update BIOS! Among the drivers & utilities in site "Toshiba" BIOS for "Windows 7" propose v3.00 for Satellite M100 (PSMA1E). But BIOS v5.60 shown only for "Windows" "Vista". Same platform, same kernel with "Windows 7" (theoretically)... Elementary logical approach! I downloaded & update BIOS - v5.60! Great! BIOS was successfully updated... Maybe, "Toshiba" Value added package will install correctly. I hope. I wait few seconds after shut down the system. I turn on my laptop & press F2 - looked BIOS... Unbelievable... First I saw - seconds in my BIOS clock runs again!!! Each of us felt a sense of joy! But after two years ... BIOS time worked again! So this is unbelievable! But don't be naive. There are certainly a scientific explanation. I mean BIOS update can help solve similar problems. But everything should be studied in detail! After BIOS update I installed "Toshiba" Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32)
Then I found & download drivers & utilities. I checked it with compatibility in "Windows 7". For both platforms of "Windows 7" - x32 & x64... I'll find some utilities - "Toshiba" Touch & launch, "Toshiba" Virtual sound, DVD-RAM software, Acoustic silencer, also "ATI" Catalyst control center... These are open issue for me. But no problem, this is will easy...
Then I install "Windows 7" x64 Ultimate (I was successfully installed "Windows 7" x32 & drivers, utilities before).
Consistently install following drivers:
Intel(R) Chipset device software v9.2.0.1021 (Win7 x32 & x64);
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 driver (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement (Download it from - http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx & extract to folder using any archivators. Then update Standard VGA drivers from this folder);
Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs vR2.57 (Win7 x32 & x64);
ALPS Electric Pointing device driver v7.x5.303.117 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Intel(R) PROSetWireless drivers v13.4.0.139 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Texas Instruments Integrated flash media controller driver v2.0.0.8 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Bluetooth stack v8.00.02 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Registry patch for Storage config v1.0 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Registry patch for Win7 devices & printers v1.2 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba SD utilities v1.8.1.8 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Software modem v2.2.97 (SM2297ALD05) (Win7 x32) or Toshiba Software modem v2.2.97 (SM2297ALS05) (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Utility support driver v1.0.25.5C (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Assist v4.01.00 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba TEMPRO v3.3.4 (Win7 x32 & x64);

Toshiba Software modem region select utility v2.3.0.13 (Win 7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Supervisor password utility v3.0.1.0 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Hardware setup utility v1.63.0.32C (Win7 x32 & x64).
During install & updates folllow system restart!
And please, help for next:
Everything worked fine! But yesterday I run "Toshiba" Hardware setup... and receive runtime error message! I know that "Toshiba" HW must be compatibility with BIOS! Please tell, anybody know which version "Toshiba" HW compatibility with "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222? Or "Satellite" M100 models?
And... problems beetwen Toshiba Value added package & Toshiba Flash cards support utility! Flash cards don't run... I uninstall both & reinstall again... Same situation... Few days ago worked fine... But not now... I don't remember, maybe change configurations in Flash cards settings... Don't remember... Help solve these problems. It is very important!
For example I looked Satellite A500 notebook - Toshiba Value added package v1.2.26.64 (Win7 x64) & Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x64) complect! Maybe, Toshiba Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x64) incompatibility with Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x64)? Versions, I think...
Anybody have information about these utilities for "Windows 7" platform:
"Toshiba" Touch & launch;
"Toshiba" Virtual sound;
DVD-RAM software;
Acoustic silencer.
and "ATI" Catalyst control center... For full control "ATI" Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic adapter under "Windows 7". I can update only graphic adapter drivers. But don't know which version is compatibility with "ATI" Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic adapter under "Windows 7".
Thanks! I have very little time... Much to do! I will try to fill the drivers on file sharing or torrent. But for this I need to collect all the drivers and utilities. I must check them out. Week of rest, I set to work and share with you what I could.
Thanks again!

Dear Keany! Thanks you Im glad...
I have very little time Only this reason prevents me periodically to public any information. I wrote this post only for Toshiba Satellite M100-222. Maybe someone who need practice information about it will find & will use this practice. Because any extended information about Windows 7 on this model is very limited on Web. If youre into computer hardware you must know that theoretically requirement for each operating system! I have extensive experience in the certified computers & network technologies. But some things I prefer to share with users We learn together :-) First time my Toshiba Satellite M100-222 worked perfectly with 1 GB RAM (512 MB x 512 MB) under Windows 7 x32. Im working under Windows 7 x64 now. Also with 1 GB RAM (512 MB x 512 MB) - 533 MHz. Fine! But not great :-) Im working with multimedia converters, Microsoft Office 2010 Simply & comfortable also play FIFA 2011! You can work under Windows 7 x64 with 1 GB of RAM. But you must configure system. I dont recommend it! So good upgrade RAM to maximum capacity for my model. Ill upgrade my RAM to 4GB (2 GB x 2 GB) 667 MHz So My system rating is 3.9 now
I found the solution for some programs
I think that:
Toshiba Touch & launch theoretically old for Windows 7 also for Windows Vista. ALPS Electric Pointing device software is simply & excellent for use;
Multimedia software such as Windows Media 12, CyberLink PowerDVD 10 includes SRS WOW effects. WinAMP & Foobar have many plugins for sound enhancement. I think that Toshiba Virtual sound very scanty than these programs with integrated sound enhanced modules. Also Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs have rich sound configure tools. For undemanding users :-) But is also enough for home & office use. This problem is solved;
Toshiba Disc creator v2.1.0.4 (Win7 x32) or (x64), I use this version have DVD-RAM utility Very easy for use friendly interface Fixed;
Acoustic silencer I will find but some applications are include utilities for optical drive speed control Acoustic silences very simply & easy for use And not statistic dragon :-);
The only problem is ATI CCC Still I didnt found compatibility software version. But VGA drivers working normal. No problem The only advantage ATI CCC - this software give full control VGA (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400). ATI Stream technology and etc
Toshiba HW setup must compatibility with BIOS! I have some test results when Toshiba HW setup gives failure But I think that Ill find solution Ok, also Ill try install version for Windows Vista But we must know! Not all drivers & softwares for Windows Vista works correctly under Windows 7. Maybe they will work, but after updates will give error My own practice with some softwares
Toshiba Satellite M100-222 is excellent model Conception - all in one! And so I love my notebook! Thanks to you, Keany!
Long time I tried found I want that other user simply download & install drivers & utilities Ok and they will save time :-) We must help each other :-)
If possible, help me about ATI CCC VGA (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400) Good luck!

PC Suite not starting automatically after re-boot.

Running the latest version of PC Suite in 32bit Vista. Every time I re-boot my PC, PC Suite refuses to start automatically, and there is no icon in the tray. I have to go into start, programs, etc..,then 'click to connect a phone' every time. Very annoying!
Very strange behaviour, given the fact that my laptop (running XP Pro), starts up with PC suite in the tray and connects with my phone via bluetooth without any intervention whatsoever.
Anyone experienced or solved this problem?
Jimmy.

In the start up tab of system config, there is no 'launch application' listed. However, PC suite is listed and enabled.
An update on this problem: Having looked at various previous posts, it would appear that ATI Catalyst Control Centre conflicts with the start-up of PC Suite. I have uninstalled this app, and all would now seem to be well. I beleive ATI CCC causes quite a few problems with Nokia software judging by problems other posters are having..

RX1650XT - bad color quality with appropriate driver...!

Hi all,
pls help me. My Graphics card from MSI is not working properly with ATI drivers. That means, colors (especially black one) have poor quality when graphics card is running under ati driver.
After ati driver uninstall - when card is running with default MS driver, is black as black and picture is very good. See comparison here: http://www.igorweb.org/matestudio/others/porovnanie_black_EN.jpg
But working without vga driver is impossible.
Where is the problem?
Many thanx.

read Moan Guide
use latest drivers provided by Ati.
also check Ati CCC settings.
what OS you are running?
OS: Vista Ultimate 32bit
I've used 3 latest drivers from ATI - the same result.
Ati CCC settings are default (factory settings)
I didn't remember this problem with XPs. Just Vista.

the down side of x58 pro-e in trems of crossfire is the 16x pci-e slots are vrey close one to each other thus the upper card is about 2mm close to the second one and it sounds like it sucks the hot air caused by the other card . plus the board itself idle at 56c(system temp) , IOH 86c idle 98c load
so my problem is the overheating
please , advise

so what's the difference in temp when you swap them compared to before swapping?
ok..
VGA 1 :
Idle:
Gpu temperature 67c
DispIO temperature 69c
MemIO temperature 86c
Shadercore temperature 72c
fan 54%
load:
Gpu temperature 82c
DispIO temperature 78c
MemIO temperature 108c
Shadercore temperature 86c
fan 100%
VGA 2 :
ran cooler than vga1 by 5 degrees at idle
and by 20 degrees at load
That's the temps after swapping
Before swapping vga1 was cooler than itself by 5~6 degrees and vga2 was warmer than itself by 3 degrees thus the swapping didn't help..
i'm very confused about MemIO temperatures , it's much high idle & load

Early Intel Mac Pro--what are my graphics card upgrade options?

I bought my Mac Pro in June, 2007 and want to improve my ability to use it for games--right now it's a bit of a dog in that respect. I have a 3 GHz dual Quad-Core processor setup that my hardware overview says is a MacPro2,1 model identifier. My stock graphics card is the GeForce 7300GT using the PCIe bus. Any help would be greatly appreciated--I know there are some expensive cards out there for newer models and that there is some discussion on what is compatible with earlier models like mine, but I would hope that my $5,000 system has no viable upgrade path for this.
Rocketman

The card is dead silent on idle. I haven't tried it on any games yet, but with 720p HD content like .mkv files playing in VLC, the fan only goes up to 20-25%, and even at that I can't even hear it.
Idle fan speed is about 5%
Idle temps are 63 deg celcius (note that its summer, and my ambient room temps are hot)
Note these temps and fan speeds are under Windows 7 on ATI CCC. I can't get the temps and fan speeds under OSX, but I doubt they are different, the card is very quiet. And yes it does work under bootcamp
Aside from maybe dual flashed PC 1GB 4870s in crossfire, this is most likely the best gpu upgrade you can do presently; it is the best upgrade if you want to stay with apple oem parts.
There is always the dark horse: the GTX 285 from nvidia, however I doubt (wish) that it will be supported for 1st gen MPs. It's possible, though highly unlikely.

I'm trying out CS4 but it's crashing on the open

I just downloaded the CS4 free trial, but as soon as I open an image, I get an error and the program closes. I called tech support, and they sent me here.
The exact message says (as soon as Photoshop opens "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
Then, as soon as I open an image, I get another error message and the whole program closes. Does anyone know how I should proceed? Do I need to download everything all over again?
Thanks,
Joe

Freeagent,
I had to nuke my system a while back to get CS4 to load correctly. The installer stopped 3/4 the way through. CS4 has registry entries that cannot be deleted. At the time I installed CS4 there was no un-installer to wipe out the registry entries that are locked in the registry. So I was screwed.
Some of my steps are like yours but I did some other steps in between that I do from past experience.
1. Did a fresh install with Vista ultimate 64 bit "with" service pack one.
2. Accomplished all the other updates that microsoft showed on auto update plus cheked "recommended updates" and checked "use microsoft update" to receive other software updates for things like your motherboard.
3. Defragged hard drive and turned on windows installer to automatic in services.
4. Downloaded directx package and installed. (This does not update by microsoft updates).
5. Had to download and install .net because ATI CCC uses it to run.
6. Went to ATI website and downloaded and installed 8.10 drivers (that was the ones shown when I updated)
7. Rebooted then defragged. Turned off windows defender and the firewall.
8. Installed CS registered and rebooted (I was updating to CS4 extended from that)
9. Defragged
10. Installed CS4 extended upgrade then registered and rebooted
11. After reboot turned on firewall and defragged again
12. Then installed and updated the remaining software and drivers.
This may seem a lot to do but most of the steps are found in the adobe help area for installing.
So it took me like 4 hours to re-do everything.
A un-installer like CS3 had would have been nice at the time of the CS4 release.
Hope this helps people.

I can't see a youtube video after downloading

I visit a forum where members ofter post Youtube videos. I cannot see these videos on my PC. I can play a Youtube video with no problem.
When I downloaded a video others could see it but I could not.
I can see the videos on Internet Explorer but not Firefox

Just downloaded ATI new Catalyst Control Centre (2010, Sep 30). Ver. 10.10. Using FF 3.6.11 and no youtube videos plays. (It worked using the previous version of the ATI CCC)
Youtube works with IE 8.0 with this installation.
