I have a PC with HD 2600 Pro AGP video card.

I downloaded the drivers, afterwards though there is no CCC?
I see it installed a Catalyst install manager.

I installed twice, so what to do to fix it?

Nothing but install manager?
I tried again this time uninstalling from device manager, will see on a reboot?

Does this need to be installed in safe mode?

Did you do an Express, or Custom install?

Try choosing the Custom install option, and make sure that the CCC option is checked. It sounds like the install manager only installed the driver.

Also, check your System Tray for the CCC icon, that's usually how it's accessed. It has no entry in the Windows start menu.

Well, safe mode you can not uninstall anything.
I rebooted, then uninstalled the driver that windows ALWAYS installs.
Then installed the amd catalyst install manager which apparently is not a driver since when I go back to control panel, the entire entry for display adapter is missing.

Then when I reboot, windows reinstalls its builtin driver and AMD seems to just do nothing excpet install a catalyst installer.??

So I have no idea what to do, why cant AMD catalyst install manager just do what it is supposed to do?

Ok, trying custom.
then click next, it instantly starts copying files, etc... no where to select anything.

Then a prompt with ! and it says AMD catalyst Manager is already installed and up to date.

Select to install version 8.0877.0 again

And CIM installation package.

OK, clicked next and it only installs CIM and a log appears.

I found another amd installer which automatically downloads the appropriate driver, which is the same one I picked.

That one seemed to do more work here is the log and it is different.

was called amddriverdownload_installer.exe

Is this something windows update needs to do to install a driver? vs, going to AMD and getting it?
I am very confused about what this CIM from AMD is doing, seems to do really nothing. It claims it is extracting lots of files, etc...

Do I need to reinstall windows 7, is it messed up somehow?
Like reinstall windows, then immediately try to install the AMD driver?

the 4th time for an install, I tried this from AMD

Ok, It says it will install the files to a folder called 'program files\ati technologies\.

I just watched it run, and when it is done, there are no files in that folder, it is empty.

I just tried to install as administrator, and still no files appear in that destination folder?

watching this, my ATI install manager never shows the ATI driver as it does in this guys list.

here is his install, mine does not list the driver or the ccc as his shows.
All I get is the cim

So something is very messed up I think.

the amd special installer detects my card and downloads the driver, but also fails. (amddriverdownload_installer.exe)

here is screen showing no driver in the list for me in custom install.
I also downloaded the AMD cleaner to clear out all amd stuff first.
So of course not working because AMD installer does not install the driver or the CCC.

I have a PC with HD 2600 Pro AGP video card.

hat is the make and model of the motherboard?

Also have you installed the chipset drivers, primarily the AGP/GART driver? Without that the video card driver won't install.

It is all working good now that I got the correct driver for that card.
And sound works with the AC97 driver from realtek.

Are 6you sure the CCC is suitable for your video card? The latest catalyst drivers may not support your card.

Amd catalyst control problems.

Hello everybody,
I have been struggling with the problem of installing AMD CCC on a Windows 7x64 system. I have tried all the solutions that I have discovered on various forums with no success.
In the end, in desperation I tried running the installer in custom mode attempting to install each component in turn, and I found that the MS Visual C++ packages were not installing, I downloaded the files from MS, installed them manually, and ran the installer again. Bugger me, it worked and completed the set-up. Hope this helps.:D

just curious, does ccc show in your control panel?

(just built my first amd rig ever) and im used to having access to nvcp via the control panel however i see nada that points to amd's equivalent. Assuming either they actually expect you to run it in your tray or go to the start menu to open it OR there was an issue with my installation as well :P
