    No Right click Still on Radeon 3670...argh!


    Just installed the 64 GB or so sw suite 9.10 for My clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 and just like every other version of the catalyst software since 9.4 (ah that was a good one) I have no access to nor,for that matter, is the Catalyst even listed on the right click drop menu.
    I posted in the Ati/amd /...? forums but figured I'd turn to these forums to see if anyone has this bloody software (the driver is fine) working for them. ie accessible via the right click or any other way for that matter? I was cool with this when 7 was a beta. In fact I applauded ATI's early commitment to the platform but this is really annoying.
    BTW-I checked out the link pinned but it sent me to 9.9 beta?

    What are you trying to accomplish with CCC? Advice depends on answer.

    Did you try to run CCC from the start menu or actual folder location it's in?

    Works well here since I've been beta testing last year.

    thanks for replying....


    [QUOTE=torrentg;342739]What are you trying to accomplish with CCC? Advice depends on answer.
    A functioning & accessible install of the Catalyst suite SW. Specifically right click desktop mouse access.

    Did you try to run CCC from the start menu or actual folder location it's in? I have tried both. It reports being there. Report states that install went fine yet nothing is there. Not accessible via Start menu, nor sys tray or right click. Only evidance it is there is the dl'd sw folder & the install program in features & programs. ?

    I mean, what is your intended usage for CCC if you could run it. I understand that's what you want, but perhaps I could suggest a superior alternative, depending on your needs.

    A two fold response. I tried the 9.9 beta that is stuck for ATI in this forum & it worked perfectly? I would have tried this sooner but obviously ,or so it seemed to me, one should be using the latest version 9.10 not a beta made for 7 beta. So that is a curious thing.

    As for intended use? Control via the CCC of multiple monitor colour profiles. Gaming over clocking. Hue control, as wmp still does not retain these settings. Picture warmth, sharpness, flicker reduction (especially for streaming video) etc. What would you think I'd want to use it for? Not being snide @ all. Puzzled.

    Furthering the issue...


    So as the 9.9 ccc sw worked great and nothing I can find @ Amd's site will. I open the floor to anyone who has a thought as to why 9.10 does not work but a beta ver for beta 7 does?
    Gotta love graphic cards.

    Give ATI Tray Tools a chance. I think you'll enjoy it.

    Nice...this is more like it!


    So this has me thinking that I can make this cool tool tray actually work with the 9.10 release. Anyone have confirmation of this? Win 7 installed a driver for my ATI dated 8/17/2009. I do not think this is the latest driver from ATI but it might be. Updating does nothing. I just want the correct driver (most currrent) & the the ATI tray tool that willl work with it. I can not find a current version of the tray tool. Latest one I saw was 2007? I 'm sure it's me as I have had a bad weekend. Firefox's so called update 3.5.4 destroyed my entire install. Along the way wiping out years of moz backups. Stunned Mozilla would release such a bad release. As an original Netscape Communicator guy it is a sad time for me.

    Sorry...way of trck. So AtI tool tray that works with current /latest driver. Anyone. Please.
    Regards & respect,

    I wouldn't blame Mozilla. Seems fine here. If there were problem they wouldn't release it, let alone not patch it by now. They have nightly builds and testing is always ongoing 24x7.

    Here's ATI Tray Tools beta v1.5.9.1294, courtesy of Guru3d.com

    It will work either way, but is that a AGP card you have or PCI-e?

    a few more q's...


    I am unable to find out whether the ati hd 3670 is agp or pci-e. It is a studio xps dell laptop of course if that helps. I can't believe this is so hard to find out. I will note this is my first laptop with anything other than an integrated Intel graphic chipset. I do not really play games. I just want it for film and music editing /playing. Since I posted you I started up WMC as well as installed Zune 4 sw & both reported that that I did not have a proper card to run audio. This is simply not true as I ran both perfectly on the RC. When I force it or log into admin account there is no such issue? So clearly I have the wrong CCC for the driver or what have you.
    So I will gladly remove the CCC sw for the tool tray. Should I just do a clean install of 7? I hate getting of to a messy start.
    Thanks so much for the help.
