Windows 7: Catalyst 9.4 + HD4870 = no GPU scaling

Hi everyone, I just installed build 7100 of Windows 7 (first time trying the OS) and am having an annoying issue. I have a widescreen monitor but play a lot of old games, so I rely on GPU scaling to properly use 4:3 resolutions. This works fine in Vista but in my new Windows 7 installation the option isnt even available in CCC.

Vista:


Windows 7:


So, what the hell? This is pretty much a deal breaker for me. Back to Vista for now

At least you get the CCC to load.!
It will not open for me (no errors in event viewer etc). Even though it is installed and I can select it by right clicking on the desktop it simply fails to work. I'm using x64 7100.

I have read of another person who can't load CCC and I would imagine that there are still issues with the ATI drivers and Windows 7 - you can fill out a bug report, if you can't get it resolved...

Downgrading to 9.3 did nothing. Maybe 9.2?

Okay well the option is there in 9.2 but you can't change it to anything besides "use centered timings." Soooo, guess we just have to wait for ATI to fix it.

Why wait? You can contact their support team and have the fix it in the next update.

Yea I just filled out a bug report with the link above.

no u guys ATI quietly updated the 9.3 on their site so if you download now it will all work fine, i tested it installed my prefvious 9.3 and current new9.3 and im in heaven

Hmm, not unless they just did it this morning. I tried 9.3 last night with no luck.

I'm having exactly the same problem here.
I have a 16" display on my laptop, so whenever I have to run something at a lower resolution than a ___ x 720 it just shows black bars around the picture. I used to choose the full screen mode in ATI Catalyst, but on Windows 7 the setting keeps turning back to "centered" as soon as I click on "apply".

As for Mariojas info on 9.3... it doesn't seem to work for me, unless the version I'm downloading is not the updated one you say. Then again, I can't find it on ATI's website anymore

Can anyone confirm that 9.3 makes it work?

Is anyone running this in compatibility mode?
Right Click the icon > Choose the "Compatibility" tab > Check off "Run in Compatibility mode" > Choose what OS you downloaded the drivers for. If you don't know, choose XP. If that doesn't work, try Vista.
