Cant Open CCC (Catalyst Control Center)

[Ipwnedx]

Sorry, if this is in the wrong section. I'm very new to these forums.
Okay, my problem is this...
I cannot open the Catalyst Control Center!
I was able to open it a little while ago! I system restored and I uninstalled and reinstalled CCC! Still nothing happens. When i right click on my desktop, i hit the tab that says Catalyst Control Center. When i click it, my cursor flickers like it goes to the loading cursor then goes back about 3-4 times. I did not install any viruses. I have McAfee security center.

Specs :
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
6GB GDDR3 RAM
300GB HDD
Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz
Ati Radeon HD 5450
Dell Studio XPS 8100

Please help!

Make sure that McAfee isn't blocking it.

 

[Ipwnedx]

How do I make it so it won't block it? I'm not so well at McAfee.

 

[Ipwnedx]

Sorry for double post, but please, i need help!

See if it's locked by something LockHunter is a free 64/32 bit tool to delete files blocked by any processes

Also, it may not have re-installed correctly.

I downloaded the LockHunter tool and searched all of the CCC programs. (MOM, CCC, CLIStart ETC ETC)
I reinstalled, again, and it still does the same thing.

1) Click on Start orb->All programs->Expand CCC.

2) If 1 doesnt work, open command prompt, type the following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLI.exe" Start Wizard

It just flickers the cursor like what happens through on the desktop.

CCC needs .NET 2.0. Do you have that?

 

[Ipwnedx]

I have .net framework 4.5.
Sorry for the late post, at school and stuff.

 

[Bill2]

Try downloading and installing all the .NET versions.

Uninstall ATI Catalyst install manager, run Driversweeper in safe mode to clean all ATI entries and re-install Catalyst Drivers normally.

Install Driver Sweeper: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Download AMD 10.11's: ATI Radeon

Go to add/remove and uninstall ATI drivers. Choose express uninstall to get rid of everything. Answer yes to uninstalling CCC. Reboot when prompted.

As your system reboots, tap the F8 key to enter Safe Mode. In safe mode run driver sweeper and place a check in the ATI box. Run it and reboot.

Install 10.11's. You should be good to go. You don't need .net, the drivers come with it.

Did everything you said, uninstalled with the ATI installer, rebooted, tried driver sweeper but it crashes on me. Reinstalled and no luck still yet. I think i have the mother of all computer problems. I've heard this one is a pretty bad and annoying one.

 

[smarteyeball]

Which version of driver sweeper did you use? The one in my link is the latest version.

Also, run driver sweeper with 'Run as Administrator'

 

[Ipwnedx]

I used the latest version, 2.7.5 i think.
I ran it as administrator, in Windows XP mode and it still crashes on me.
Any other ideas for the CCC not opening?

Pretty sure we said to use Add/Remove and not the ATI installer. That's less of an issue than Driver Sweeper though.

Driver Sweeper will crash if you're not in Safe Mode... there's no point in even trying to run it unless you're in safe mode.

Did you keep tapping the F8 key while rebooting?
