Catalyst Control Center won'w open after installing Windows 8.1

[joejoejoejoejoe]

I am not quite sure if i need to update it or something but after updating windows and i try to open CCC it pops up a notification "Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.
There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center"
I am trying to open it to expand my screen to fit my monitor because the resolution is already at the highest. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hey Joe,

Best bet would be to go download a fresh copy of CCC from the AMD website. Uninstall the existing one that doesn't want to open, reboot the machine, and when you're back in Windows, install the freshly downloaded copy.

Fixed it by UN-installing everything AMD and restarting, (yet again). Downloaded and ran the AMD CleanUtility, (link below), then restarted, (yet again). Once the machine came to life again. I went straight to the AMDsite, proceeded to the drivers page, and downloaded the 14.7 beta driver pack. I installed the package, (yet again), (Making sure to UN-tick the AMD Gaming Evolve CRAP!). Then, I restarted, (you guessed it.., yet again).

When she came to the AMD Catalyst Utility started on it own!!! YAY!!!

(Granted it was last in the start-up list, but that is easily fixable with the proper utility to change your start-up order)!!
(Then, created a Restore Point!)

Good Luck!! hope this one helps!!
