You can see that problem on a desktop as well. When any model card series comes out the software/drivers on the cd may be buggy! I ran into that on the HD 2xxx series card here until the next Catalyst was available.

First of all you need to slow down a bit and look at a few other things besides the catalyst versions. The first thing to be looking at there is the error information seen on any blue screen if seen. That is used to find out just what the problem is.
You could be seeing a hardware not driver fault while generally the information is useful since that may point to a specific device driver which could just as well be for sound as well as video. You could have a memory problem or some other fault now being seen with the card itself.
Another place to look is at the event viewer logs since that can often point out a specific manufacturer. Did you install the drivers for the board itself?

After uninstalling the drivers, run driver sweeper in safemode as well and then reinstall catalyst.

Cat drivers are either a breeze to install or a monumental PITA. There is no in between
Also as nighthawk suggested, check the event viewer. There could be something else that is causing the ati drivers to crap out.

You don't need a 3rd party program to see the catalyst and drivers removed. Those come off easy by simply going into the "C:\ATI\support\Cat version\driver" sub folder and start up the installer from there.
Once that comes up you simply select the unistall option. ATI provides their own remover for the registy entries as well as the drivers themselves.

Hi, yes, I have a problem!
Got a windows driver working OK. But my screen is too small, 1024x768
My beloved ThinkPad has the ability to use a higher resolution and just scroll the screen when the mouse hits the edges... but Windows wont let me choose a higher resolution than the reported screen resolution! So I tried to install the Catalyst Control Center ...
Downloaded the 9.6 version without the driver. Came as an .exe, so I ran it. A program called "Catalyst Install Manager" installed an older C++ library and... "Catalyst Install Manager" - what? :S The installer seemed to be installing itself... how exciting!
And no sight of installing CCC. Except when I open the newly created folder, in which I find what seems to be installation packages... at least it is very alike what you usually find on installation CDs. There are a few setup.exe and similar but think I've tried them all and everyone started the very same CIM, which said that the C++ library and the CIM was already installed (would have been sorry if not) so that it couldn't do anything better than to reinstall those two.
All in all, I dont get the CCC to install at all. And I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong. Please help me, what can it be?

O8h7w, welcome to the forums.
Did you try the shortcut that is found in the Catalyst Control Center folder in the Start-programs list, or right clicking on the desktop and selecting it from the context menu?

Thankyou for noticing me being new to this forum! It seems to be among the better ones :)
But obviously I was not clear enough in my first post. Nothing has been installed, except the C++ library and the CIM. Both visible nowhere but in the 'Uninstall a Program' -list. I suppose that is how it should be, only CCC has not been installed. So there is no such shortcuts to click...

What you are running up against is that there is zero Windows 7 support for the video (X300 Mobility) in your laptop, and there wasn't even for XP (drivers were only provided from the laptop manufacturer). All is not lost if you're up to a little challenge. Go here,
Mobility Modder - DriverHeaven.net
and follow the instructions on how to mod the driver yourself so that it will (should) work on on your laptop.

Are you really sure about that?
I'm asking because nothing seems to be wrong with the driver, just with CCC. But then if CCC would install, you're saying it wouldn't recognize the driver anyway so I couldn't use it?
With XP all was running fine, pity 7 has me all hooked...
