ATI Catalyst Software issue

[welshdragon]

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me?

Just built my new rig as follows: AMD 965 Phenom 2, 4 gb g-skill ram, WD black edition HD, Asus 5770 GPU and a corsair 650 psu.

I clean installed winows 7 pro 64 bit.

However, I downloaded and installed the latest Catalyst suite and whilst it is showing in the start menu its not showing in the tray and if I click on the menu the blue circle timer briefly appears then nothing happens.

I have managed to uninstall evrything using drive sweeper and start fresh however the same problem reoccurs. And if it helps, when in the uninstall panel in windows it will not even let me uninstall, had to use ccleaner.

Hope someone can assist as its driving me spare!

Many Thanks

Andrew

Yes, I heard the 9.10 were perhaps more stable so installed them, same issue

Right, I officially throw in the towel. Have uninstalled, drive sweeped, and reinstall catalyst .10; .11; .12 all witht he same result. Catalyst is showing in the start menu and when I right click as an option but selecting it does absolutely nothing. Installing it doesn't even update the driver in the device manager and the system was using the generic driver.

The only limited success I have had is installing the hotfix, which now means windows is using the correct driver. however, still no access to catalyst.

Thought briefly it was a privileges thign but specifically choosing 'run as amdinistrator' still gave the same results.

Any ideas anyone, may run over my gfx card soon!

The device manager does show it as present, and the card is seated correctly and powered etc

The experience index shows 7.4. As for .net I think I read windows 7 comes with the latest?

Well, I sorted it, kind of, reinstalled windows from scratch then used the disc that came with it to install catalyst and it now works, albeit an older version. Will hang tight until more stable 5770 drivers are released. Cheers for your help and suggestions guys!

Yes I'm back on the older ccc that came on the asus disc which is working. My only concern now is the like of aliens vs predator next month, would've prefrred the latest drivers etc for that!
