• Catalyst Control Center won't save my switchable graphics settings

  I recently got a HP dv6 and I really like it. It comes with a dedicated graphics of Radeon 6490 Mr. I had no problem with using it until I upgraded my Catalyst 11.1 Control Center, I think. I've since had questions apply settings that I put for switchable graphics. I can open and only display the CCC and switchable graphics, no problem:

  

  As you can see in the photo above, it seems to work and detect applications. Here is an example of one of the settings I wanted:

  

  But, when I want to record the settings changed in switchable graphics and press on apply, the settings back to the way they have been, and will not, save like nothing happened. Is not only between saving energy and High Performance card settings, she also won't let me not affect more requests. I can clearly remember as I could when I got this computer. I'm not sure but I think it was version 10 or something. I am able to just switch to a graphics special in fixed Mode very well, but I want to use switchable graphics and save energy on my laptop. This version of the CCC I have now when I go to preferences--> on the Catalyst Control Center. I think that it is 11.12.

  

  I'm pretty sure I have all the drivers for the card update, but AMD doesn't let me use downloads of their cause of site I should use the manufacturer programs I think. I have automatic updates turned on, including HP Support Assistant. I tried to look online for a solution, and the closest thing I've found is this site: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1819873 which is a blog with someone who has almost the same problem as me, but without solution. I could perhaps try to downgrade, but I can't find a way to do this or a download link.

  I really need help with that. Please and thank you

  Hello. I don't know if you have already solved your problem, but his should help other people as well in any case. I managed to solve this problem today on my laptop. What I've done, it's the Division of hp drivers, I downloaded catalyst (catalyst in the ati site gave me this problem). the driver that ships with this catalyst did not work, so I used windows update to get a working driver. so, in theory, what you have to do is download from the hp Web site catalyst, and during installation you select custom and click Next until what he gives you a list of the programs you want to install. You should uncheck everything except catalyst. (do NOT install the driver gpu, catalyst ONLY)
  I'll post a link for the driver for my laptop model, but since you will only need a catalyst, it shouldn't be a problem.

  You can also search for your model, but I recommend not to install the driver anyway. just get it from windows update, I have assumed that you already have the driver anyway. Good luck.

• CD rom drive won't open, please help

  Hello

  I read the other posts, tried the paperclip had thing open, but when I re-powered, the reader is closed, and now he's stuck again. It will not eject through 'my computer '. Trying to eject the results in the player made a noise like it wants to open, but is not, then a green light flashes 3 times. I checked the Device Manager, who says "this device is functioning."  It's a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX330E. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Try again the trombone - remove the disk in the drive (if it exists) and see if the drive will be
  open correctly.

  Sometimes they get stuck. There is a small hole on the front of the CD drive that you can stick a
  a paper clip that will release him and the reader to open.

  =================================

  Check with Sony for other possible solutions. Also check with the Mycelial forums for help
  with your model DVD.

  -----------------------------------------------------------

  If you have problems with the drive after getting to open:

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Reinstalling and rebooting has not worked as well and he somehow damaged some files, but I downloaded the HP solution file and it fixed everything for me - I think it was a problem with the driver itself

• WARNING: The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the version of the graphics adapter driver you activated. If you please update your ATI graphics driver or enable your ATI card using the display manager.

  Original title:  Install the new NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 graphics card but now gets error message regarding the necessary to the old card drivers ATI Radeon.

  I just bought a new computer from AMD PHenom II quad core Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 installed. For the graphics card, an ATI RAdeon 4200 on it there but I wanted a more powerful card and installed a NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 graphics card. The ATI Radeon is not delete because honestly, I could not recognize what it should look like and thought that maybe it was incorporated. The fine installed NVIDIA card and now shows as the graphics card used by the computer Information System.

  My problem is that whenever I start my computer, I get an error message saying that the drivers for the ATI card are not compatible with the Catalyst Control Center. I think I need to disable the ATI card, but don't know how. Can you help me?

  Dell Inspiron 570 is a desktop computer, the ATI Radeon 4200 is an integrated graphics card chipset usually equipped with laptops. Something is not here.

• T400, cannot start the Catalyst Control Center - error 'GPU active not supported'.

  on a machine running vista business 64-bit current t400.

  last week all was hunky dory.  This week, when I try to open my ati catalyst (CCC) control center, I have the following error:

  "ATI catalyst control center cannot be started because the active gpu is not managed.

  I read a few posts on this problem from not using the ATI graphics card and being rather on the integrated graphics card.  indicate the positions I could reactivate CCC simply by clicking on the battery icon in the system tray and selecting "mode high performance" to force the machine to use the discreet graphics card.  After I do and then try to start the CCC, I get the same error as above.  at this point after switching to the mode high peformance, my device manager also lists "mobile Intel (r) 4 series express chipset family ' as my graphics again.  If I have left or right click on the battery icon in the status bar, I don't see any options for explicitly switching cards.

  the card driver intel 4 mobile is listed as being from ATI to version 8.520.4.4000.

  I'm not sure of my version of the driver for the ATI card.  and I don't know where to look for it.

  to my knowledge, nothing but a number of 'critical' windows updates have changed on my system between the time when CCC was working last week now.

  any suggestions on how to fix this?  and what it does to stop working?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I finally thought to it.  and no new drivers or relocations were necessary.  at the end of the day, all I had to do was turn on version lenovo Power Manager (which appear in my taskbar like a horizontal green battery with the number of minutes of use remaining).  from there I can left click and access the menu that has the switchable graphics option where I can choose the economy of energy or high performance.  If a from there, I select high performance, I can then open CCC.

  the important thing please note this is to access this menu, you must be using power management program of LENOVO thinkVantage (sticking the Green battery on your taskbar icon), NOT windows built in the power manager, which appears as a vertical grey/blue /? battery in the tray system (at least on mine).  Once you have, you can explicitly pass the graphics cards.

  the strange thing is, I had been accessing CCC without explicitly switching the cards without problem until last week.  so in a way that the default setting should of spent high-performance energy saving, thus putting me on the integrated graphic card unless I went it manually.  weird.

  slide, thank you for your help.  I appreciate it.  and it is an interesting note on freeing more memory by disabling the switchable graphics.  I'll probably this give it a shot and see how I like it.  memory is never bad!

  Thanks again to everyone who helped.

• Catalyst Control Center cannot be started

  I have an AMD Radeon 8570HD graphics card. When I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, I get the following message: 'cannot start the Catalyst control center', 'there currently no parameters which can be configured using Catalyst Control Center.

  Hello guys. Finally, I managed to solve my problem. What I did: I went to the Device Manager and noticed that, by virtue of article, there is an option adapter-> right click-> properties-> update "other devices" driver-> Browse my computer for software driver-> selected the latest driver from AMD. After the driver, installed only the reboot and now it works. Please note that you must have no driver installed when you perform the steps above.

• Satellite A100-237: I don't have the Catalyst Control Center after the installation of the driver

  Hello

  I use a laptop Satellite A100-237. 1.83 GHz Core Duo, Ati Mobility Radeon X 1600 512 MB Hypermemory, 1.5 GB of RAM DDR2.
  My laptop seems to now use only the own 256 MB RAM (own RAM graphics card).
  I bought Need for Speed Carbon and installed on my laptop.

  When I tried to open the game, a blue screen appeared for less than 1 second and the system rebooted. Windows said it was a critical mistake and a stopped driver Windows XP for work, so the system is restarted.
  I searched on the net for this problem, and the people said that when they pilot updated the problem is resolved.

  I downloaded the 8.241 display driver (download file name: display_xp - 8241.zip) Toshiba - Europe.com.
  Driver installed, but when installing ATI Catalyst Control Center, at one time installation process continuing collapsed. I had to end the task after a while.
  He said that the driver is installed and system must be rebooted.

  Now the game works, which is not the problem, but I do not have the Catalyst Control Center. (Where I recently use to connect other screens to my laptop)
  How can I solve this problem?

  Sorry for the long letter,
  Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  As suggested above, you can try to restart the installation but I guess that you will not be able to install the graphics driver of ATI origin on the manufacturing site.
  You can try to use the omega site ot driver drivers Toshiba orginal...

  @aportakal
  Anyway, the ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1600 is not a memory sheared graphics card and this is why this card does not use the part of the main memory. It supports a 256 MB own memory.

• dv7t-6c00Quad installed Win8Pro (final version) & ATI Catalyst Control Center fails

  My laptop is the dv7t-6 c 00 Quad and I just installed the version of Windows8 Pro (I am a member of MSDN Developer).

  Everything went fine EXCEPT the ATI Catalyst Control Center does NOT work.  I tried to reinstall the graphics driver (sp55098.exe), but it won't work because it does not "meet the minimum requirements" (which I assume means that it has not been updated to handle Windows8.

  The result is that my system has become unstable. I guess that's because the control center would deal with switching between low power and high power/performance chipsets.  I noticed that this change can occur on the fly and seems to have with a web browser (Internet Explorer).

  It's REALLY BAD, because it crashes my system.

  Please respond and tell me that there is a SOLUTION NOW!

  * Notes: I tried to launch Catalyst Control Center and get this message, "Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.  There are currently no parameters that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center".  AAARGH!

  It's the definitive answer to AMD.  HP must deliver the updated for my portable operarting under Windows8 Catalyst drivers.  I hope it will be soon.  In fact, I'd be happy to beta test.

  Here is the answer from AMD:

  Dear Thomas,

  Your service request: SR #{ticketno: [8200508926]} has been reviewed and updated.

  History of application of Service and response:

  As AMD only provides the reference for laptops drivers (provided as-is with limited support), sometimes our software is not compatible because changes made to the graphics card from the laptop manufacturer to improve stability and performance in the laptop. The error you receive indicates that the Radeon card in your laptop is incompatible with our drivers, since the manufacturer of your laptop has changed the Radeon card enough such that our drivers will work with your product. As such, you will need to contact HP for pilots and support to download and install. We will have all the drivers for your system that will be compatible, you will be forced to go with HP. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post about the problem of Catalyst Control Center and wanted to help.

  Is this an update of driver that has been installed by HP Support Assistant?

  Or (more likely) you go to AMD and download yourself?

  Because if the latter, which was a big mistake!  Laptops come with specialized equipment for which the drivers are delivered only by OEM - in this case, HP.

  What you need to do is the following:

  (1) download and run this utility AMD to remove AMD drivers you installed: utility uninstall own AMD

  2) go to this HP Product Page and download the AMD drivers and install THOSE: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC-series/5262606/model/5293908

  After that, you should be OK.

  And stay away from downloading drivers from the Internet for your laptop.

  Good luck
