You got to install .NET framework for latest CCC to work.

I've already installed it. It ain't working!

 

[ayeitsashish]

I've also uninstalled previous drivers and then tried to reinstall them this time i'm getting a package failiure error!

Download the drivers again. Downloaded package might be corrupted. You can use the Link to download AMD drivers.

Did you use DriverSweeper to remove old drivers?

Here is the method for updating AMD drivers and software..

You have to remove the entire Catalyst suite and re install the updated version to properly update the drivers:

Be sure to download the correct Catalyst suite which includes the driver for your video card:

Did you removed the Catalyst Suite as shown in GPU-57: How to uninstall pre-existing graphics card drivers from a Microsoft Windows based system

have you downloaded the Catalyst Suite?
AMD Radeon? Video Card Drivers

Be sure the aforesaid is the proper package for your system AMD Graphics Drivers and Software

The Catalyst software must be un installed from add/remove programs not device manager

 

[ayeitsashish]

I've somehow got the graphic card under device manager..

I can't see AMD installed under Programmes and I'm sure that i'm installing the curret package.

I installed it and now im getting the same error AMD Catalyst cannot be Started..

 

[ayeitsashish]

Hi SCR i'vnt got the suit.. downloading it now and will let you know.

 

[scr]

The driver will be shown under device Manager however the Catalyst Suite will be shown in add/remove programs. The drivers will not install without removing the Catalyst Suite

 

[ayeitsashish]

Yes. I don't see Catalyst manager under programes and features that means there isn't any.

I went to HP's webiste and i see a graphic update but that is of 2012, shall i install it ?? I bought this laptop some days ago..

 

[ayeitsashish]

Ok. So i did system restore and now i've successfuly removed Catalyst control from the Prgrames..

What should i do now ??

Which thing to run ??

coz there are two things Catalyst suite and that 13.9 beta thing .. One is of 198 MB and other is of 236 Mb.

Which thing should i run ??

PS i'm using window 8.

CCC bloatware is not needed unless you intend to overclock your PC. Since it causes many issues seen here, I would uninstall it and install only the Display driver.

Because Win7 is a driver-complete OS which doesn't need drivers supplied like XP, first enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) then Check for Updates, install all Important and Optional (after hiding Bing) with reboots until there are no more Updates left. Some of these Updates will be necessary patches for performance on your PC.

If no Display driver is provided by Updates, import it from the device's Support Downloads webpage without the bloatware.

Let us know how this goes.

I apologize for not responding sooner, a sort of emergency came up and I have been off line till now.

gregrocker has picked this up and has way more experience then I.

This is a laptop only drivers you should be using is from the Laptop website uninstall the one's you got form AMD site and get them from your Laptop maker that is the only way it works

Laptops have there own OEM driver that only the maker provides using the main one from AMD will get you no where

BTW 7670M is a Mobile GPU anything with a M at the end is a instant Mobile GPU set up

 

[ayeitsashish]

and what about driver pack solutions ? will it do the work ??

 

[gregrocker]

Follow the steps I gave for drivers in post #14.

 

[ayeitsashish]

Hi Guys, Greg Thanks for your advice... Did what you said..
Updated my Window now this is what i'm getting when i right click on desktop..

Is this what i'm supposed to see ? Is this the new catalyst control centre ?? I think this Catalyst version is of 2012

 

[ayeitsashish]

Thank you Greg. I did what you said.

Update my window first..

I also used drivers pack solutions then i get to see those video setting in CCC and then I also updated that optional Updated of AMD Card and Now i can also see Desktop Management in CCC..

Earlier i was only seeing Power, gaming and information and now i can see all..

Now my question is what dimensions should i choose to get game on full screen ??

coz when i'm trying to play a game i'm getting black borders in both the corners..

I tried Alt+Enter it is working in some games but not in all...
