CCP not working under Windows 7

[Joe90]

Hey Guys

I have updated my Vaio All in One PC (VGC-VA1 ) to Windows 7 . Sony Vaio no longer suppot this machine running under Windows 7 . However Most of supplied Vista drivers do work . It seems the X700 mobility, ATI Display Driver installs and works properly (8.561.0.0) , however the Catalyst Control panel does not .

So the Catalyst Control Panel no longer works , It does seem to install, using Sony's provided Vista drivers , though there's compatibility issues

I do like the options in Catalyst control in general , so how can I get it working , any suggestions ?

Please uninstall Catalyst, then download and install DriverSweeper, remove any AMD drivers that may left over and restart the machine.
Download and install Catalyst Software Suite from the first link and it should work alright.

I can pretty much guarantee that that will not work. From the release notes,

The following notebooks are not compatible with this release:

• Any notebook launched after this driver release
• Switchable Graphics enabled notebooks using Intel® chipsets.
• Toshiba® notebooks (please contact the notebook OEM for driver support for these notebooks)
• Sony® VAIO® notebooks (please contact the notebook OEM for driver support for these notebooks)
• Panasonic® notebooks (please contact the notebook OEM for driver support for these notebooks)

AMD Catalyst

That and there is no support for the older DirectX 9 GPU's in the latest Catalyst Suite, and hasn't been since the Cat 9.3 came out.

No idea if it will install or not, but seeing as all you're after is the CCC click on the "individual downloads" tab and try just the CCC download. It will likely fail as well and if it does then give this a try,

ATI Catalyst

When you get to it do a custom install and only select the CCC as the driver in it will not install for the same reasons as above, Sony won't allow it.
