Hi plato,

When I install the Catalyst drivers I do not install the Catalyst Control Center. I unchecked the free game offers, clicked the Install button from "Select Installation Operations", and then dot Custom from "Installer Welcome", and unchecked CCC from the install options leaving the rest checked. There is no need for it really for me. You can adjust all of your video settings through Vista.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

CCC gives MOM.Implementation and CLI.Implementation errors (it is about .NET I think).

ATI Tray Tools wants to install a driver when installing application, but you know about Vista x64's driver policy.. Of course it fails miserably, and it doesn't work either.

Vista x64 comes with .NET v3 but this doesn't help it seems.

BTW, there is no problem with ATI's 7.6 driver.. It works well. Only CCC creates problems.

I got the exact same problem as you.. I have tried 7.8 and 7.4(worked for me on x86) but always the same problem. Im going to try 7.6 but i sux not beeing able to use the newest release. As far as I have seen on ATI support page there is nothing about this problem. I got Radeon 1950XT if that's of any intrest.

Edit:
7.6 didn't work for me, but now i got another error, seems like the drivers didn't install. "No ATI graphic driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Pleas install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware"..

Well, I just dont know anymore.. Befor didn't the CCC find any files and now the driver dont work insted. Anyone got an idea? cuz im all out of them!

Edit again:
Made it work with brinks way to install the drivers. I installed 7.8 just too bad I cant run CCC but the drivers work anyway. I hope someone else can learn from my trubble at least

well i can get the ccc to run but i cant watch hd tv when i upgrade it shuts the program down when i select hd channel sd is fine
it does it in mce digital tv and dntv live as soon as i roll back the driver everything is fine again very weird

cheers chinga69

Thnx for the update Shawn.

You're welcome Asky.
