ATI Catalyst Control Center crashes Windows 7
Just wanted to give folks a "heads-up" on a problem I've encountered with older Catalyst Center and Windows 7. Installed an older version of the suite (v6.1) because that's the latest my XP-era video card would support.
Got a popup after that complaining about compatibility and shutdown resulted in BSOD.
OK, so went into Control Panel and unistalled CCC. Still get the BSOD.
Went into Control Panel again and tried to uninstall the remaining ATI stuff. Nothing happens.
OK, tried to correct with System Restore. Claims it can't do that due to filesystem errors. Rebooted ran chkdsk, fixed the errors. Restarted, tried again -- same refusal. Same BSOD on shutdown.
Looks like the only "fix" is a complete reinstall. <Sigh>
So ... if you have an older version of ATI drivers you need to install, don't install the CCC. Instead, just expand the drivers and install them separately.
Course, that might faile, too. Haven't done the complete reinstall, followed by the driver reinstall, to find out yet.
