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,

Boot Camp - Windows 7 (64-bit) - Catalyst Control Center

Hi,
This topic is all about running Catalyst Control Center on your Mac in Boot Camp.
Setup:
Mac Pro 2.66 (early 2009)
ATI Radeon HD 5870
Boot Camp 3.2
Windows 7 (64-bit) SP1
Case:
First I uninstalled all graphic drivers that came with Mac OS disc. After that I booted up in safe mode and removed all left-overs with Drive Sweeper. After verifying that everything was gone I booted up in standard mode and installed latest version of Catalyst Software Suite (v.11.2).
Notice! To get through with the installation of CSS I had to uncheck features like drag and drop decoding. If I did not uncheck those features the installation process would fail...no clue why. After a "successful" installation it still does not work. When I right-click the CCC shortcut or try to start the application from its folder nothing happens.
*Solution (if any):*
Any ideas?
<Edited by Host>

I had trouble accessing catalyst control center (for my AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series display adapter) on my Windows partition (64-bit). I tired installing the drivers from the mac os x cd and from AMD's web site. While I could successfully install the driver, I couldn't get the control center up and running. The interesting solution to this problem was downloading the AMD Catalyst™ 12.2 Preview Driver. After installation, i was able to access the catalyst control center and solve a problem that I was having (undersize on my monitor when using HDMI). I hope that this helps solve the problem to others who are experiencing it (I thought I'd post as this page came up in my solution searching).

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.

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

Amdcccle (Catalyst Control Center) not saving multiple monitor setting

I followed the wiki to the letter, but I cannot get any x window session to save the changes I make in amdcccle. All I am trying to do is get multiple monitors configured, and it works great with the catalyst control center but it never saves these settings.
I have done the following:
gksu amdcccle
gksudo amdcccle
also:
sudo aticonfig -f --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right
and many other interations of aticonfig. The -dtop option complains that it doesnt work with RandR enabled.
I got this working a few weeks ago but can't remember what I did. If amdcccle could actually save the current configuration to file that would solve the issue but it simply will not.

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.

Amd catalyst control center panel

am trying to use the AMD Catalyst Control Center but if you look at picture u will see that most of the functions of the control center are missing. I have tried reinstalling it ( the one on the HP download page) but it says "the computer does not meet the requirements for installing the software" yet going by the model and serial number of my laptop it is the one HP says to use. Has anyone else had this problem and if so found a fix?

Just wondering how posts are chosen to be answered as I see some from today are answered and earlier posts are still waiting for a reply.

Screen Rotation from Catalyst Control Center won't stick

Greetings,
I recently upgrade all my software on my laptop (T23, model 2668-J3U, docked in a docking station), both installing XP SP3, and installing all the upgrades through the Thinkpad System Update tool. I have 2 external flat screen displays connected (one on digital one analog) and I use the rotation feature. However, since upgrading, I've tried using the Catalyst Control Center to rotate my screens but cannot get it to "stick". The option is there to rotate and i've tried mutliple combinations, but no matter what I do the screen flickers (like it's going to rotate), but then flickers back to the landscape settings.
I've checked forums on this site as well as googled on the internet but haven't been able to find anything on the subject.
Is there some other trick to get the rotation feature to stick? You help is much appreciated as I rely on rotated screens for many reasons.
Many Thanks,
Fred

Hi there!
I work in Tech support in the UK for a hospital and i have recently come across this issue on our HP5850's.
They are using the HP drivers built on catalyst 8.4, and also had SP3 installed and the screens would NOT rotate.
After much faffing around and eventually coming across this site we tried uninstalling SP3 and now the screen rotates fine.
So, whilst i do not wish to argue with Lancelspencer (last poster), removing SP3 DOES fix the issue.
Hope this helps, good luck.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
