Catalyst Control Center ATI graphics card error message

This error message keeps popping up:
"The Catalyist Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter. Please update your ATI graphics driver or enable your ATI adapter using the Displays Manager."
I have the latest driver and as far as I can tell, it is the only driver it is possible for me to "enable." Why does this message keep popping up and how do I stop it?
Thank you.

Uninstall the catalyst control center.
Download the most recent display driver from Lenovo - not from ATI.
Uninstall the existing display driver.
Install only the display driver - do not install catalyst control center. It is totally unecessary in this computer, in my opinion. Both XP and Vista do a simpler job of managing displays.

Graphics Card Error message...

Hello,
I am experiencing a recent problem with my newly purchased MacBook Pro. (2.4GHz Intel core 2 Duo)
I have FCP 4.5HD and after transfering it over to my new machine I am unable to launch it. At launch I get the error message: "This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. -- AGP graphics card. "
It seems to me that there is a graphics card issue, but I would assume that a new MacBook Pro's graphics card would be more than sufficient and compatiable with a highly popular editing program not to mention they are both Apple products.
Would you be so kind as to stir me in the right direction? Why exactly am I experiencing this problem and what can I do about it.
Many thanks,
Karchi

This is because FCP 4.5 was designed for the PowerPC processors, and you are using an Intel processor. FCP 5.1 was the first version designed to work on an Intel machine.

You either need to either:
1) use the following hack -

or
2) Upgrade to FCP 6

, 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.

T400, cannot start Catalyst Control Center - error "active GPU not supported"

on a t400 machine running vista business 64 bit.
last week all was hunky dory. this week, when i try to open my ati catalyst control center (CCC), i receive the following error:
"ATI catalyst control center cannot be started because the currently active gpu is not supported"
i've read some posts about this problem stemming from not using the ATI graphics card and rather being on the integrated graphics card. the posts indicated i could reenable CCC simply by clicking on the battery icon in the system tray and selecting "high performance mode" to force the machine to use the discrete graphics card. after i do this, and then try to start CCC, i receive the same error as above. also, at this point after the switch to high peformance mode, my device manager lists "mobile intel(r) 4 series express chipset family" as my display adapter still. if i left or right click on the battery icon in the tray, i do not see any options for switching cards explicitly.
the video driver for the mobile intel 4 adapter is listed as being from ATI at version 8.520.4.4000.
i am not sure of my driver version for the ATI card. nor do i know where to look for it.
to my knowledge, nothing aside from a number of "critical" windows updates have changed on my system between the time CCC was working last week and now.
any suggestions as to how to fix this? and what caused it to stop working?
thanks in advance for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i finally figured it out. and no new drivers or reinstalls were necessary. in the end, all i needed to do was turn on the lenovo version of the power manager (which appears in my taskbar as a horizontal green battery with the number of minutes of use remaining). from there i can left click and get to the menu that has the switchable graphics option where i can chose energy saving or high performance. if from there i select high performance, i can then open CCC.
the important thing to note from this is in order to get to this menu you have to be using LENOVO's thinkVantage power management program (which sticks the green battery icon on your task bar), NOT windows built in power manager, which appears as a vertical grey/blue/? battery in the system tray (at least on mine). once you have that on, you can explicitly switch the graphics cards.
the odd thing is, i'd been accessing CCC without explicitly switching cards with no problem up to last week. so somehow the default setting must of gone from high performance to energy saving, thus putting me on the integrated graphics card unless i switched it manually. weird.
slip, thanks for you help. i appreciate it. and that is an interesting note about freeing up more memory by disabling the switchable graphics. i will probably give this a shot and see how i like. more available memory never hurts!
thanks again to everybody that helped out.

Satellite L840/020 - need to re-install ATI Catalyst Control Center Win 8

I keep getting a message from Program Compatibility Assistant that I need to reinstall ATI Catalyst Control Center.
I went to their website and it said Toshiba laptops would need to get this from Toshiba.
I can't find this download.
My graphics card is the AMD Radeon 7670M
Satellite L840/020
Part No. PSK8LA-020007

It seems to be that this notebook model is not supported for Win8. I found one US model with the same graphic card so try to install Win8 beta AMD display driver offered here .

HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo, Radeon HD 6770M, switchable graphics, update Catalyst Control Center

Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo
I have installed windows 7 64 bit
Graphics cards: Switchable Intel and Radeon HD 6770M
So far, I have been using the graphics driver provided by HP including Catalyst Control Center, and it has been working fine.
I recently bought a new game: Wolfenstein:New order. I fulfill minimum requirements.
When trying to run the game, I am informed, that my Catalyst Control Center must be 14.4 or newer: Fatal error, and game cannot run.
How can I update my Catalyst Control Center to 14.4 or newer? Both graphics cards (switchable) should be working.
Thanks a lot in advance - This issue is really getting on my nerves!

Hi @Guggermand
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your notebooks works fine except when you try to play your new Wolfenstein New Order game, at which time it informs you that your Catalyst Control Center is out of date and must be 14.4 or higher. You stated installed Windows 7 64 bit.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran The HP Support Assistant to aid with updating drivers and resolving issues.
Here is a link to the latest recommended HP driver AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver sp55092.exe for you system.
If that does not update your current version of the Catalyst Control Center, you will need to check the AMD website.

ATI Radeon HD 4870 - Bootcamp & Catalyst Control Center

Hey all,
I installed Bootcamp (Vista 64-bit) 5 min ago and noticed that Catalyst Control Center was not there. When installing Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro I got the Nvidia panel, why is not the CCC available on the Mac Pro?

I have posted a message "White screen of death and computer halts with ATI 4870 in Boot Camp"
I bought the 4870 and ANYTHING I do causes the system to halt and go to a white screen before even attempts to go into windows.
I have called Mac AND gone to a shop. I took the NVIDIA out of my MAc Pro and put in the 4870 and works GREAT in Mac but as soon as hold down the Option key to get the option to select Mac or Windows it halts system when push Windows before even attempts to load Windows.
I went so far as to take ALL hard disks out of system but a new one and put a Vists dvd in drive and try to install it.... Also tried Windows 7 and xp. NONE work... as soon as click the dvd the system halts. So this supposed upgrade just doesn't work.
I haven't found anyone with the same problem which is odd...
Any advice I would love it. Otherwise I need to return it.
The MAc shop said it wasn't their problem. Mac just guarantees works on MAc OS and maybe someday will support bootcamp. Really bad answer.

T500 ATI Catalyst Control Center cannot be started

I have some troubles in opening the ATI Catalyst Control Center.There was a window poped out saying that ATI Catalyst Control Center cannot be started because the currently active GPU is not supported. I have already reinstall this drive and the graphic drive. But the problem is not solved. I am wondering what could I do now?

Right click on the battery in the task bar and make sure your Switchable graphics are set to Performance, if it is in energy savings the ATI control panel will not function, you need to use the Intel graphics setup instead.

ATI Catalyst Control Center

OK... so ive installed the video driver but when i look at add remove programs it does not show the Catalyst Control center is installed .. nor does it show up when i right click on the desktop. i have .net Framework 3.5 installed. what is the problem and/or where to i download the Control center... my unit is T60 2623 D6U running windows XP pro.
UPDATE: i will keep this up incase someone has this problem... the reason it wasnt working was because i never executed the Setup.exe file.. you must load the ATI software for it to work.. yes i am a noob sometimes....
Thanks to all who didn't flame this post.

Funny enough i had the exact same problem on an A50 desktop. When you run the Catalyst "installer" it doesn't actually install, it just extracts the programs into a folder. you then have to navigate to the files and run the setup

You must not do this. Just continue upgrade installation.

ATI Catalyst Control Center is not loading with the latest drivers. Help!!!

I have installed latest ATI drivers from Lenovo 8.712. After that ATI Catalyst Control Center is not loading. The icon is present, when I click display properties. But when I click it, nothing happens. How can I downgrade to the previous version?
And another question: I have a docking station and 2 monitors. One of the monitors with DVI connection is working fine. Is there any way to disable laptop screen and enable second monitor through analog D-SUB.
Thank you in advance.

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

Catalyst Control Center: Host Application has stopped working (Error)

Hi, I have anHP Envy 14-1110nr Notebook PC, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Catalyst Control Center (To configure switchable graphics) doesn't work. I believe to be stuck on my low performance GPU,and can't switch. I cannot load anything to do with my switchable graphics, and am at a loss for what to do (I'm a very inexperienced computer user). I have browsed other forums related to this but am scared that I'll destroy my computer by downloading the wrong thing. This all started after I got a virus that caused me to need to reset my computer from an earlier stage, please help.

Hi,
Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your AMD Graphics Driver - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 7
After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

Envy h8-1409 Desktop-Problem Installing Catalyst Control Center on Wiindows 7 for Radeon HD 7570

Hi,
I just purchased an HP Envy h8-1409 desktop. It came with Windows 8 but I downgraded to Windows 7 due to my unfamiliarity with the new Windows 8.
Officially, HP only provides Windows 8 drivers for this particular model I bought. However, I was able to find another HP desktop model (h8-1360t) that has almost the same hardware that has Windows 7 drivers. I downloaded all the Windows 7 drivers and was able to install properly for everything except for the Graphics Card (Radeon HD 7570). There was an error message during the start of the installation complaining that the driver was unable to find supported hardware on my machine. I ended up using "Windows Update" to get the driver for the Radeon HD 7570.
Having installed the Radeon HD 7570 driver only allows Windows to recognize my graphics card but I was unable to adjust any advanced settings. So I went to AMD's website to get the latest Catalyst Control Center package. During the installation, no error was found and everything seemed alright. However after the installation is complete, I was unable to see Catalyst Control Center anywhere on my computer (e.g. Start menu, right-click menu, etc). Also, when I checked the "ATI Technologies" folder, it was empty!
I also tried using AMD's auto detect agent but my graphics card was not even recognized.
I am running out of ideas on how I can get Catalyst Control Center installed. Please help!

Hello,
Here is an article about downgrading a Windows 8 computer. I hope it helps.
Good luck!

Catalyst Control Center: Persistent Issues

Hello,
I am running an HP Pavilion dv7 with AMD graphics (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650). After installing Windows 8.1 I have been experiencing problems. Whenever I try to run the Catalyst Control Center application, I get an error message:
"Catalyst Pro Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Pro Control Center."
This issue seems well documented online, and I have spent the past few days going over every reported work around I could find, including uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and software directly from the manufacturer's website, without alleviating
the issue in the slightest. My best guess is that I have to hack a .inf file somewhere, but I have no idea how I am supposed to do this.
Please help.

Hi,
As far as I know, this is ATI graphic card driver compatibility problem, because your Graphic card is too old, its driver for Widnows 8.1 had some compatibility problem. You can try to install the latest beta edition for test.
In addition you can contact ATI to identify this problem.
