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.

What does this message mean: Catalyst Control Center Monitoring program has stopped working?

Is the above message a real problem and what can I do about it?

What was recently installed or changed on your system? A quick option will be to use the System Restore Tool to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before this problem started. Using the System Restore tool may not necessarily help you determine the issue. When you use System Restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you installed are removed.
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
1.      Click Start, type system restore in the Start Search box, and then click System Restore in the Programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
2.      In the System Restore dialog box, click Choose a different restore point, and then click Next.
3.      In the list of restore points, click a restore point that was created before you began to experience the issue, and then click Next.
4.      Click Finish.
5.      The computer restarts, and the system files and settings are returned to the state that they were in at the time that the restore point was created.

Catalyst Control Center crashes with new video driver update

Hi Folks,
I just updated to the newest rev of the ATI driver (April 28, 2009). Now, catalyst control center crashes at startup, opening a dialog box that says, "catalyst control center monitoring program has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,

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.

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.

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?

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 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

Bootcamp - Catalyst Control Center - help me!

Hello, I've tried to install catalyst control center for windows 7 bootcamp, I can't seem to find the download for the actual program, I only find the drivers for it, I did find the program once, and installed it, but then I only had 2 different tabs in there, and there should be atleast 7+ with alot of options. I had close to none, in my install of the program, so I uninstalled the whole thing and now I can't seem to find it again.
I've installed the latest driver for the program now, but I cannot find the program...
And ofcourse I want to find out why I only had 2 tabs in there, when I should have had 7+
Please help me
- Anton

Is it these old drivers?

ATI Catalyst Install Manager and catalyst Control Center Help

I just run the Windows 7 Upgrade
advisor report and it said that I should uninstall the ATI Catalyst Install Manager and Catalyst Control Center then reinstall after upgrade..
Could someone direct me where I might t find these programs for Windows 7

You must not do this. Just continue upgrade installation.
On my Satellite I got the same message but I have simply continued with upgrade.
At the end everything went fine.

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.

This has started happening after I tried to do a BIOS update last week and I ended up with the blue screen of death & had to recover my whole laptop.

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
