? About Catalyst Control Center

[Tousdae]

Since I reformatted my hard drive this has given me an issue. When I reboot I get a message that states there is a problem with it and it looks for a solution. So I uninstalled it. Is it something that I should have??

TY

I don't use the control centre. Load everything except that & don't miss it at all. As long as the driver is installed you should be alright. If your system is booting OK now & you don't use the CC then leave it uninstalled. Easiest way.

Most ATI users, me included, do not have issues with CCC. While CCC isn't needed, it is needed if you want to tweak you GPU.

Yes CCC, like any other software, can act wonky.... So can Windows

Hi, I did uninstall it and just had to tweak my resolution a bit, but otherwise, yeah, I'm fine without it.

Thanks Hipster. Thanks for the links sygnus.

Please be aware that CCC requires Service Pack 1 to be installed on Windows 7 for CCC to properly work....
