sorry for usin n00by all caps, but this is tickin me off.

anyways, just got a new ATI Radeon 9600XT graphics card (great card, btw), i installed it and everything, but the problem is...

CATALYST CONTROL CENTER WONT RUN!

i mean, i click on the icon, wait a few seconds, and nothing happens!

even when i clik on it in the properties section of the graphics card, it wont run.

o, and when i run the ATI Wizard for the catalyst control center, it wont run and i get some kinda error message!

i can still use the graphics card, but i really need this software to access some important features on the card.

*im using CATALYST CONTROL CENTER version 5.1 and I have windows XP, if that helps.


has anyone had the same problem? any suggestions?

any help would be appreciated!

i think control center is dumb. get control panel.

control center is a new gui for ati's display preferences, and it runs EXTREMELY slow. takes 2 minutes to load on my compy. So use control panel. has all the same functions (except the dumb unnecessary ones) and runs a helluvalot faster

yea thanks.

control panel has that OVERDRIVE overclocking thing on it, and thats the only setting ill ever want to adjust anyway, so guess i dont need catalyst control center.

Yeah it takes a while to load on my computer but not that long. It takes me maybe less than 10 seconds.

They do in gaming, but not stuff like encoding video.


When you factor in price/performance ratio, then yes AMD's do pwn.

Most people have problems with graphics drivers because they don't uninstall the old ones beforee upgrading to new ones. If you unistall your graphics drivers, restart, install the new ones, restart, it'll work perfectly without any confliction. CC is not slow, it must be your computer. I hate when people judge programs by their performance on just one computer.

ive got a 2.8ghz P4, my compy is pretty good.

the problem is that everything on my computer runs so fast, then this happens(?)

i click it and its like it doesnt even register with the computer, its weird, the computer doesnt even think. and ive waited like 5 mins and it wont open.

ive reinstalled it and tried everything, i uninstalled my previous vid card drivers, and i installed my new 9600XT and it works fine, so im not a n**b. lol.

but its just really weird. ive given up on tryin to get it to work.

Sometimes there's just weird anomalies with computers. Think of how many settings, diagnostics, and software settings there are going on and interacting. There's bound to be some unexplainable stuff.

You can enlarge the pic by clicking the enlarge icon on the bottom corner that appears. What kind of RAM do I need with these RAM specs?

Heyyo,

That clockspeed is slow, but it's still fine dude. You can always check your bios to see if it's set to settings like "fast" or "ultra" as some mobos say.. that should get it up to 400MHz.

I suggest not using that stupid control center, it's more of a pain than it is usefull. Just use the good ol' fashioned display properties way, works fine as it is, and loads right away.
