Yep. RE-installed and read the installation notes which said to
uninstall the old drivers.

Did that, uninstalled using Cat Uninstaller.

Fresh install on 4.9 drivers.

Sounds like it could be the problem with a firewall running. Allow CCC in
your firewall software.

I haven't had any trouble with the CCC but i've uninstalled it as to me it
just appears to be a bloated version of the display properties.

Thanks, that worked kind of.

CCC now runs but I can't get access to the Direct 3D or OpenGL
screens, they just don't appear in the menu tree.

This happened to me when I first installed this. I had to reinstall it AND
make sure the firewall accepted it during this process. Then the D3D and
OpenGL options appeared which weren't there initially. I ended up
uninstalling it anyway because I couldn't see the option for the 3D hotkeys
plus as others as said it's pretty bloated.
