    I updated my drivers to version 8.12 but now am unable to open the catalyst control centre. Anyone have any ideas? I am running xp pro 64 bit os.

    thanks

    Did you install Microsoft .net 2.0?

    Microsoft .net 2.0 should be listed in add/remove programs in the control panel if it is installed.

    Are you running cross fire? As there is a issue with 8.12 and it.

    Install 8.11 drivers and see if it works with them.
    Can always go back to 8:12 again but only do a driver install and not the manager program install. Might work..

    Don't suppose you get a error message about fonts do you?

    yeah i could roll back to 8.11 but i wan't the fan control function on 8.12. mine seems to be blowing 100% all of the time and is pretty loud.

    no error message at all. nothing happens when i try to open catalyst control centre.
