Disturbed already...I still went on my reformatting...but as I installed Adobe Creative Suite...I got a whole lot of errors...most of which pointing to system / PC requirements not being met...So this brought me to think it had something to do with the ATI Video Card.
Searching in the internet, I found some suggested fixes that worked for some...but not for me. To list them down, these are:
- Manually updating the display driver in the device manager. By pointing the driver installation to the downloaded ATI driver.
- Another is installing "ccc2_install.exe" to C:\Program Files\AMD\CCC2\Install. (I cannot find the program.)
- Last is basically uninstalling the Video Card Driver and complete software and then using an AMD Clean Uninstall executable file.
Simply, this is what I did:
- I downloaded the latest ATI Radeon HD 4670 driver from the AMD website.
- I also downloaded AMD Clean Uninstall Utility 1.4.0.0 from softpedia.
- I uninstalled AMD from the Program and Features of Control Panel.
- Picking the express uninstall option.
- After I deleted the AMD folder in the C: drive. (You can also delete all the files in the %temp% folder. - Type %temp% in the start menu search.)
- I ran the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility and restarted.
- I then, went on to install the latest 13.9 Legacy driver (latest as of this time) I previously got from the AMD site.
- At the end of the installation, I got an error prompt showing not all programs installed and there was a link to a log of the installed programs. Clicking it, I saw that everything installed except only one program, the driver.
- So I manually opened the device manager and uninstalled the display driver.
- After, I reupdated the display driver and pointed it here: C:\AMD\. (This should be done after steps 6 to 7.)
- I finally opened the Catalyst Control Center from the context menu at the desktop screen.
