What have they done to CCC, it looks rubbish now

Had trouble installing this one, could not get the CCC to load.
After using driver sweeper and CCleaner in safe mode it still would not load.
In desperation i used the ATI un-install option during setup, it worked, go figure that.
Anyhoo, it all seems to be working OK, so if you have problems try the un-install option.

Yeah, I can't say I like the new look of it now. looks like it took a step back in time.

ATI needs to fire each and every software developer! They Really are worthless! For anyone that has the ATI 3870 X2, stay with 9.4 version as that works the best. NEVER update before doing a restore. The fans setting are not adjustable but Riva Tuner works for that just fine. I think I might dump these two 3870 X2 for the NVidia cards, these drivers always worked for me in the past very well! Any takers?

How do I find out the specs? With me knowing I'll post them

What's the model name of your laptop?

Also type "system info" into the the start menu to open system information. Expand components>display and post a screenshot of that page

A Preferred Method of Uploading/Posting Screen Shots

i.e

*****
It's funny how every time I have issues installing a new release, everybody else s installation is problem free. However when I don't have an issue - everybody else does

The new CCC doesn't look bad, but is slower to navigate

there ya go sir.

Your chipset/integrated card is a ATI Radeon® Xpress 200M which I don't believe is supported with these drivers

i have a diamond radeon 3870X2 and am happy with 9.4 driver and have no desire to update the driver. why update if it is working fine?

The simple answer is - don't.

But if you do have an issue or need an improvement for a particular game that has been included in that release, then obviously update them.
