CCC Catalyst control center not opening in win 8.1 64-bit

[Dan_plotly]

I have tried uninstall and re-install of a few versions. Specifically 14.4 and 14.7 (beta). No luck. I am running an amd radeon 7800 graphics card. Any advice?

3 days no response. Getting pretty frustrated. Put in 5 hours Its almost a quest at this point. I need to solve this solution for my sanity. I'm going to keep trying new things. P.S. I hate win 8 and 8.1

I am having the same issue. I have looked at a few threads and have done everything they say./ Restore point from 2 days ago when this started. I downloaded the newest 14.4 and installed. It installed Gaming Evolved CRAP, had to restore to the day before that. (NBD). Downloaded fresh driver package, installed, (WITHOUT Gaming Evloved CRAP), and still same issue... Catalyst just starts to load, get the "hourglass"... then the screen flicks and the solid "Blue circle".... then it just stops! Nothing! I am at a loss right now.

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!!
