Since the update on win 8.1 AMD CCC won't work. I know this topic has been discussed many times, still I don't get it working.
This is what I've tried so far:
- reinstall win 8&8.1
- trying it with different versions of the AMD CCC (last try with 13.9 and the newest, 13.11 / 13.12)
- trying different workarounds like uninstall the graphic card in the device Manager

My computer is a Samsung 700z3a-s02ch, graphics: AMD Radeon™ HD6490M. I run win 8.1 64bit

Any suggestions?
 
Solution
I really don't know, man. You DL the installer, install it, then the folder is empty...I honestly have no clue why that would even happen.
Simple fix

Open the Task manager than try to open the Amd catalyst control,it wont open yet.
on the task manager you should see it working,right click on it and go to details
and it will open.
I discovered this by accident.i went into tech mode cause i use to be a cable/satellite installer.lol

ENJOY

by the way this trick works for almost every app that wont open after installation
 


You can fix this problem by disabling "overscan" on your television. Do a web search on how to disable overscan for your television model.
