I keep getting a message from Program Compatibility Assistant that I need to reinstall ATI Catalyst Control Center.

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?

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.

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

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.

ATI Catalyst Control Center wont save settings betweem reboots

I figured out I could "dim" my iMacs X1600 video by reducing the "color levels" from 1.0 to 0.5, and now my screen is not too bright anymore. When I choose "Apply", then accept that it is still working, it apparently does not write these new settings to a file anaywhere. If I restart X, or reboot te machine, the settings are back to 1.0, and too bright. I did this as both my non-root and root accounts, and it didnt save it either time. Any suggestions?

Yes, it is true that they are stored in /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.
Phoronix wrote:[...] AMDCCCLE doesn't store any changed settings from AMDCCCLE in the xorg.conf or an INI file in the home directory, but in an intermittent location. AMD's driver and the aticonfig and amdcccle utilities use the AMDPCSDB. The AMDPCSDB is the AMD Persistent Configuration Store Database and is a live database that is comparable to the registry within Microsoft Windows. The file where the AMDPCSDB data is written to is /etc/ati/amdpcsdb and is done when the X server shuts down. AMD engineers prefer keeping the display-related settings in the AMDPCSDB so that any xorg.conf changes are minimal. [...]

Safe to disable ATI Catalyst Control Center?

Hi, just wondering whether it's safe to disable the above from startup services(via sevices.msc)?
Currently running Vista Business 64-bit (T400 with ATI discrete graphics card)
Thanks in advance!!

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.

How to adjust HDMI overscan without catalyst control center? 2011

I have an unsolvable problem due to the lack of standard between Apple and AMD.
The problem is that i have a black frame arround my TV screen when i connect my MacBook Pro 2011 (15" 2.2Ghz) to my TV.
This is called overscan.
Now here is why i can't solve this (and why it is so frustrating):
-AMD cards send underscanned signal through an HDMI output by default.
-Having no native control for overscanning on Windows 7, the only way to adjust this is through AMD/ATI Catalyst Control Center software.
-The AMD Catalyst Control Center software is incompatible with the MacBook Pro 2011 and won't install.
Now is there a workarround for this?
If not, who is responsible (who should i turn to)?
Is it Apple for using a non-standard driver for the AMD graphic card?
Or is it AMD for not providing me with a compatible version of Catalyst Control Center?
PS: Of course Microsoft is responsible for not providing native overscan control in Windows 7

Hi C,
See if the TV has overscan settings or zoom.
http://hd.engadget.com/2010/05/27/hd-101-overscan-and-why-all-tvs-do-it/
In a perfect world broadcasters would mind their signal and ensure every pixel was worth watching, then TV manufacturers wouldn't feel the need for overscan -- or at least we hope. In the meantime we're just happy that most TVs have a way to turn it off. When an image is displayed properly, it's sometimes referred as 1:1 pixel mapping. This simply means that every pixel in the signal is displayed by a single pixel on the display. Of course each manufacture has its own name for this mode; like Samsung who sometimes calls it Screen Fit, and Pioneer called it Dot by Dot. No matter what it's called, it's rarely on by default -- even when watching 1080p24 from Blu-ray which never has garbage on the edges! -- so you'll have to find the button on the remote called something like format or P.size, depending on the brand. Your best bet is to read the manual -- shocker.
