Hi

I updated to the 10.3 Catalyst drivers for my Sapphire 4670 512MB Card

Since then the card is working but I cannot open any program including the catalyst center relating to the card

when i click on the program nothing happens

The card is working as per GPU-z screen

Please advise

Thanks for looking
 
me too gettin the same i get a lot of errors during installation of 10.3 and the catalyst centr does not show up :huh:
got the same card
 
I d/lded those drivers for win7 / 5850, and my display got all screwed up with a black box around the screen. I uninstalled them quickly, i don't know if this is just with win 7 or the drivers themselves are screwed up !
 
1. Remove the driver. (Use the normal uninstaller)

2. Got to safe mode Desktop, and run driver sweeper.

3. Remove all ATI entries.

4. Run CCleaner to clean registry entries.

5. Reboot to normal mode.

6. Install Driver.

7. Restart+verify.

Uninstall ALL ATI drivers using revouninstaller (using advanced uninstall), install fresh drivers. Get into the habit of uninstalling old vesions and installing new versions of OS FF everything.

I did as advised above but no effect
Several entries were left by the Driver sweeper also relating to the chipset, which i also did not tick for removal

Still same

Any further suggestion?

When I had an ATI card, I avoided their CCC like the plague.
I used to install only their drivers and control them via ATI Tray Tools.

If ATT is as good today as it was back then, I highly recommend installing just the drivers and not the CCC and using ATT instead of that.
 
^^ +1 to saumilsingh !

Avoid installing any junk like CCC for piece of mind ..!

Download only display drivers (Standalone) from ATI website & see if it solves the problem.

Where do i get to download ATI Traytools ?

Also which standalone driver should i go for ?

There are so many, if any member can recommend the exact link
I will be using with Windows XP 32 bit on ASUS mobo
Just to remind again I have 4670 512MB DRR3 arctic cooler model
 
The CD which came with the Card installs ver 9.5 so I will have to download from the internet

However, There are 2 items in ver 9.12 available for download for my version of 4670 both for xp 32 bit

http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/downloads/download_index_01.aspx?psn=0006

Catalyst 9.12 Windows XP (32-bit) for Windows XP 32-bit Edition 44.35MB

Catalyst 9.12 Windows XP Xcode (32-bit) for Windows XP 32-bit Edition 27.45MB

I should download which version & whats the difference between the 2 BTW

Thanks

Same here ::ohyeah:

BTW just for other newbies like me

1. kept iunistalling all ATI entries in Add remove programs till none existed

required several reboots

2.then ran driver sweeper in normal mode & removed most entries

rechecked after rebooting 4-5 entries were left

3. Rebooted again in Safe mode & removed the balance entries with driver sweeper

4. rebooted in normal mode & checked with driver sweeper no display entries present

when none present

5.then installed 9.12 ver CCC

Success

Thanks from me also :clap::clap::clap:
