W500 failing to start ATI Catalys control center (CCC)

I have a W500 with an ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 in it. I had a problem where my external monitor was just blank. I fount that there was a new ATI driver available from Lenovo which fixes a problem with a blank external monitor. I downloaded and installed it after removing the exitsing ATI driver and the Catalyst Control Center software. Now whenever I restart my thinkpad, I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'MOM.implementation, Version=2.0.3713.40523, Culture=neutral, PublicKey Token=90ba9c70f846762e' ...... (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
If I try to start the CCC itself, I get this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'CLI.implementation, Version=2.0.3713.40381, Culture=neutral, PublicKey Token=90ba9c70f846762e' ...... (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I've searched the net and this forum for solutions, and have found and tried some of them. Basically they are stating to uninstall the ATI driver and CCC code again, cleanup any residual ATI files, re-install the Microsoft .Net 2.0 code and re-install the ATI driver and CCC code again. I think I am getting all the residual files, but can't really be sure since there is no comprehensive list.
I've done this several times to no avail. Still get same errors above although my blank external monitor seems to be fixed.
So any other suggestions?
I have WinXP SP3 installed.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Make sure you have high performance graphics enabled via Lenovo power manager and in BIOS. If you're only using the Intel chip you will get a blank external monitor.

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 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.

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

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 .

ATI Catalist Control Center

Hello every body,
I just succesfully installed windows 7 and it is running perfect so far. Nice new thinkvantage also. My only problem is that I cannot install or run the Catalyst Control Center. The driver is running fine though. Help on how to install the CCC.

When you unpack the exe file you downloaded from ATI. Rename the folder "ATI" it makes to something like "NewATI". Then run the setup file inside the folder. If you're installing ONLY CCC then select custom, and then deselect everything except for CCC.
If you're also installing drivers then that's a bit trickier. First you need to uninstall the drivers Windows 7 original put. If your system crashes when trying, then go into Safe Mode and do it from there, then boot normally. After you boot, Windows 7 will try and install drivers again, after it does uninstall normally, then run the setup.

Start Button from Control Center Manager OWB 10.2.0.3.33

Hi Folks,

Please forgive the simple first question:

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

, 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. You will have to back up all your data before this. HP PCs - Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7) Please let me know how things go. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

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. [...]

TMS Conference Control Center (CCC) problem

I'm using TMS v14.5.0 to monitor/manage our environment. When in the CCC, the left pane (shows My Watch List, All Video conferences and Reservation, etc.) collapses randomly. In other words, I hit the plus sign (+) next to Active to see what's going on. Frequently, as soon as I click on an individual conference, the list collapses. My guess is that it's a java problem, but wanted to see what others had to say (and how to fix). Java version is v6 (build 1.6.0_23-b05). EI v11.0.9600.17501. Firefox v32.0.2. TMS running on virtual Win2012 server. The problem happens when using IE or Firefox. We had the same problem with TMS v13.2.1 and server v2003, but it seems worse now. We do not use CUCM or Prime Collaboration.

I had a similar problem and we upgraded TMS's Java to V 7.51 and made sure that the machines accessing TMS CCC were on at least version 7 and we had no further issues. I never had the auto collapse happen but we did have some very interesting issues.

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.
