Catalyst control center stopped working

HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c
Video card Radeon HD 7450
Windows 7 64-bit
Error message "Catalyst Control Center stopped working......."
Two monitors connected, HPw2408h and TV. HP monitor is connected using DVI and the TV using HDMI.
The issue is that when the pc starts things run fine. WhenI want to have the sound to the TV I switch the Sound Playback to AMD HDMI Output and the TV now has the sound. After a while I will get an error message "Catalyst Control Center stopped working.......". When Sound Playback is opened the AMD HDMI Output is no longer working and has a red arrow pointing down and it indicates the AMD HDMI Output is "not plugged in".
I have download the latest drivers and still have the same results.
What is needed to correct the issue?

Hello insco6750,
When you updated the drivers did you install over top of existing software or uninstall beforehand?
First we should try ripping everything ATI off of the system, including software, drivers and CCC. You should be able to uninstall everything through Add/remove programs.
After you remove everything reboot and let windows reinstall it's own drivers and software. You don't need CCC to do dual monitors so we can do testing without it.
Once you let windows install see if your HDMI output no longer works when you switch to the TV.
Post back your results after completing this.

Catalyst Control Center stopped working properly after widows update

When I let Windows Update install the newest catalyst control center driver I could not open catalyst control center so I tried to do a system restore but it failed because It said my anti virus was preventing this with the error code 0x80070005.I first tried to disable the anti virus shields and restore didnt work. Then I uninstalled the anti virus and went to safe mode but it gave my the same error. Now Catalyst Control Center opens but the only feature available is HydraVision. I still cannot change the picture and graphics settings because they are not there to select in CCC.

Catalyst control system stop working

recently i upgrade my laptop from windows 8 to 8.1 my laptop is hp pavilion e015tx after updating operating system when i try to open "configure switchable graphics" or " graphics properties" it will not open and give message "catalyst control control system stopped working"
please help me some one

Hey @prakhar12 ,
We meet again!
The CCC software may need to be updated to work on Windows 8.1.
Please try installing the most recent version from the HP website here: AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver.
This package contains the drivers for both the Intel and AMD GPU so that your switchable graphics will work in Windows 8.1.
Let me know if that helps!

Why did the Notification Center and Control Center stop working?

After updating ios 8, Notification and Control Centers stop working from time to time. I can't swipe up or down. I have to use the Assistive Touch to bring them on screen. Restarting the iPhone make them usable again. But afyet a while, it happened again.
Now, iOS 8.1.2. Last update, the Centers used to appear again. But 8.1.2, they just stopped working.
How how can I fix it?

Hello Eric Grylls,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If you're not able to access Notification Center or Control Center (other than using Assistive Touch) on your iPhone 5s since the latest update, I recommend following these troubleshooting steps mentioned in this article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
All the best,
Jeremy

Hi guys,
I got today my new IPhone 6+ running iOS 8.0.2 and after a while the swipe up gesture for the control center and also the swipe down gesture for the notification center stops working on the home screen and in apps.
On the lockscreen the gestures still working.
It happend now 3 Times today but I can´t see any System behind this.
And it happens also that the System freezes some times for a few seconds, I saw it happen In safari and mail app.
Hope these are only bugs in iOS which will be solved soon.

Load MMDriver and Catalyst Control has stopped Working

I have an Notebook Pavilion dv7 -6c00
Two days ago I Installed Adobe Premiere, and when I try to run it i get a error message that says somethink like they can't find a video module, I google it, and some people says that I have just to update my Graphics card driver. So I go to AMD page, and download the last catalyst control..
Since then I can't open firefox, Games, and other thinks because Load MMdriver crash and when I try to open Catalyst control it's the same.
I try:
- To install de original drivers with the Recovery manager. (nothing happen)
- Uninstall the catalyst control... was the same...
- To Restore the system with Windows Restore point... and then I get a error and it delete my point of restore, and don't solve the problem eather...
¿So what I have to do? I read this topic: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/Update-to-windows-8-1-Load-MMdriver-not-resp...
They recommend to install that drivers in that order, I already download the driver for my specific model... but I'm worry about that "update" will crash another things.... Which is the solution to this problem?
This is a picture from google that shows my notebook model, (just to comfirm my model Pavilion Dv7-6c00).
http://blog-imgs-50.fc2.com/d/i/g/digimonolog/Windows-Live-Writer_HP-Pavilion-dv7_C0F1_IMG_0021.jpg

Well First, Thank you a lot for answering.
My OS is Windows 7 (64 bits). Sorry I forgot to put it in the message.
I did not explaing mysell correctly. I did not the Recovery System from the partition yet, I just did the System Restore from a Restore's point. (EDICTION: more exactly, The AMD Driver from AMD web pages, also install the Microsoft Visuall C++ 2000, and maybe it was my biggest mistake, to choose it like the point to restore, and not before it... from that point it start the problems, when The restore finished it's said something like: "There was a error, and the restore couldn't complet... but it's indeed restore, but it erased the rest of restore points. I also have to add that It wasn't the first time that I restore, I mean, I install one driver from AMD and like I doesn't let me to run Adobe premiere, I restore to another point, and try another Actualization of Catalyst control manager, and it's in that moment, when it eather solve the problem, when I restore to the point when Visual c++ 2000 was installed, an all my nightmare begins)..
When I mention the Recovery I was talking about HP Recovery Manager, it let me reinstall the original drivers without the reformat/recovery the laptop. I used it to reinstal the original AMD Driver... but it doesn't solve the problem.
I did not the recovery because I would prefer not to have to reinstall all my programs. (But it's the ultimate solution XD).
I figure out that maybe the problem is in the Intel's Graphics Driver, (I didn't mention it, but my laptop has switchable Graphics, I think that's how it's called XD). I think that's the problem because when I used the HP Recovery Manager to reinstall my Intel's Graphics Driver I get this Error:
http://s10.postimg.org/rua6ahk7d/Untitled.jpg
Also I can open the programs that I mention just when I go to Divice Manager and Disable or Unistall that Intell Graphics Drive (but it reinstall automatic when I: "Right click > scan for driver changes"). I can't find it in the "Add or Remove Programs" so I can't unistall the driver to prove with the HP Recovery Manager.
http://s29.postimg.org/g0r05dhzr/Untitled.jpg (Device Manager picture that shows my graphics Drivers, selected the one that I think it's the problem).
Then I don't know what to do. I really don't want to Recovery the pc, with the Recovery partition. I would prefer to try another options before (if exist any).
Thanks for Aswering, and excuse me my english, I'm not native... like I think you already guess. XD If I didn't explain somethin well I will try no explaing it better .
PD: When i have the intel driver Active, I get the message: " --Programs-- has stopped working" The --programs-- can be: Catalyst control, Skyrim (game), the HP Recovery Manager It's self, Firefox, and any thing that could use the graphics card (I don't get it why it happened with the HP Recovery Manager app that I shows in the picture... but it happened, i have to Disable the driver to get printscreen....

Windows 8.1-AMD Catalyst Control Center

Hello!
First of all I would like to start of by saying thank you Hp for an amazing product, I bought my Hp Envy m6 laptop in May and I have loved it ever since. I bought it as a gaming machine, and it did not disappoint me...until I decided to update to Windows 8.1.
I downloaded it from the app store last week to see what new features they added (was rather disappointed with how long it took especially for the lack of great features they added, however that is not your fault), after a day when I bought a new game from Steam (Arma Two) and I went to the Catalyst control center to set the performace to high I realized it had stopped working the message I got was:
"Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.
There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center"
This means a lot go my games are running rather bad at the moment as they are using a mixture of my intergrated Intel 4000 "graphics card" and my AMD Radaen HD 2GB Graphics card. Instead of just my AMD graphics card (the good one).
I tried looking for solutions to this problem e.g. A new download for Catalyst Control Center or an easy way to downgrade to windows 8 from windows 8.1 however I have been unsuccessful. The only method that seems possibly is to downgrade however that would involve uninstalling all my programs (Over 50 games from steam) and all my other programs.
So the reason for this message is that I am looking for a solution to this problem, either an easy way to downgrade to windows 8 OR a way to get my Catalyst Control Center to work again so I can change what graphics card is used when.
Thank you
-Conor
P.s. I love Hp's products and I have told all my friends to get them. This is window 8's fault not yours.

Possible solution:
Hi Guys,
I just contacted HP support regarding this problem. They asked me to install the following file:
ccc2_install.exe
It was already present in my system in the following path:
"C:\Program Files\AMD\CCC2\Install"
This solved my problem. CCC is working fine now
Also, while installing, your desktop might go black and only active windows will seem to work. But, thats fine, just restart your system.
Hope this helps
Cheers...
Thanks and regards,
Saptarishi

Catalyst Control Center: Host applicaton has stopped working

I keep getting the error:
Catalyst Control Center: Host applicaton has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The only button on this window is "Close program"
This error started on 01/04/15 (via the event viewer).
The video driver for my AMD Radeon HD 7520G from AMD is dated 9/15/2014 with a version of 14.301.1001.0. If I go to the HP support site, the driver is shows is dated 11/11/2013 with a version of 13.152.1.1000.

Hi @cjssas
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting an application error from your Catalyst Control center. I am happy to assist with this.
The first thing I would recommend trying is a system restore to a point before the problem began. It is possible that some other software installed or driver, or system update, may be the cause. So take a look at this:
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
If that does not work, then I would download the driver again, uninstall the existing driver, restart the computer and then install the driver once more and see if the problem recurs.
Incidentally the support website shows the latest hp customized version of all the drivers for that notebook. Hp customizes them to be compatible with the other hardware in the notebook. It is always possible to use a different driver, but there are no guarantees it will work.
I hope this helps.

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.

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 A100-237: I do not have the Catalyst Control Center after driver installation

Hello,
I use a Satellite A100-237 laptop. 1.83 GHz Core Duo, Ati Mobility Radeon X1600 512MB Hypermemory, 1.5GB DDR2 RAM.
My laptop now seems to use only the own 256 MB RAM (Graphic card's own RAM).
I purchased Need for Speed Carbon and installed it to my laptop.
When I tried to open the game, a blue screen appeared for less than 1 seconds, and than system restarted. Windows said that that was a critical error and a driver stopped Windows XP to operate, therefore system is restarted.
I searched in the net for this problem and, people said that, when they updated the driver the problem is solved.
I downloaded Display driver 8.241 (download file name: display_xp-8241.zip) from toshiba-europe.com.
Driver installed but while installing ATI Catalyst Control Center, at a point the installation process stoped continuing. I had to end the task after a while.
It said that driver is installed and system must be restarted.
Now the game works, thats not the problem, however I do not have the Catalyst Control Center. (Where I recently use it for connecting other screens to my laptop)
How can I solve this problem?
Sorry for long letter,
Thanks for helps.

You may run the driver installer again, use the custom installation option and select Catalyst Control Center only. Alternatively, you may remove the entire driver and try re-installing again. I suggest you also download the notebook driver package from ATI's website instead of Toshiba, as their drivers are usually more up-to-date (although it might be less safe to use them, I don't know).
And BTW, I have the same notebook and I have failed to see an option to set the machine to use the VRAM *only* instead of borrowing from RAM whenever necessary. Any ideas?

X100e "Catalyst Control Center Monitoring Program"

Whenever I boot my ThinkPad X100e I get the following message "Catalyst Control Center Monitoring Program has stopped working"
Does anyone know how I can fix it?
I am not positive but I think this is the cause of overall slow performance (especially with video).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m really sorry to hear that you are getting an error stating “Catalyst Control Center Monitoring Program has stopped working” when you boot your Lenovo ThinkPad X100e.
I would suggest you to uninstall the Catalyst Control Center/drivers, download the latest version of the Catalyst Control Center/drivers for your video card from Lenovo Support page and install the same. Enter MTM number in quick path and find the driver under display and video graphics category.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.
