Hey guys, I just installed my new 4870 and downloaded CCC and the display driver and installed them. But when I try to run CCC to monitor temps and control fan speed, it won't launch. I get this error message:

CCC Command Line Interface has encountered a problem and needs to close.

As far as I can tell, I have .net framework 2.0. But does it have to running/activated or something? Is there a way I can check that, maybe in msconfig? I'm thinking that's the problem. But then again, when I go to install .net framework 3.5, I get an error message. And when I uninstall 2.0, I get an error message too. Both the installation and uninstallation stop working after those messages. This is getting really annoying, I seem to be getting error messages all over the place.

My system is in my sig.

If anyone knows, what could this be and how can I solve this? Thanks much

I dont know of a specific fix for this, all i can sugest is that you makesure you completly uninstall all defective drivers and reinstall from scratch. I use this catalyst uninstaller and delete all referance to ATI when i do it ( Not the drivers you are going to use obviously) http://support.ati.com/ics/support [...] ionID=1447
Also here is a link to a list of drivers so you can use one you know worked before. http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers [...] us-xp.html

I tried that already using add and delete programs, but it didn't work. I'll try your method and let you know later. Thanks

Do you have .Net Framework installed?

have you tried installing the .net2 and .net3 stand alone packages? or are you doing this through windows update?

I had this problem a while ago. Here's how to fix it.

1. Uninstall CCC and the ati drivers through windows.

2. Run "Driver Cleaner Pro" and clean with "ATI"

3. Run the Windows Install Cleanup utility and remove ccc and all ati drivers listed. It may give you an error message. Don't worry about it.

4. Reinstall the ATI drivers with ccc

Using the windows install cleanup utility is what finally fixed it when I had the problem. I think it's caused by a corrupted installation that doesn't get completely removed normally. You should restart after you clean with each program.

I tried the standalone packages.

I'm also using an OEM disc from my old Dell (Windows XP Home SP2), would that change anything as far as installing .net framework? Someone on another forum told me it might.

As I said that I think I have .net framework 2.0 installed, but have no idea whether it's running properly or not. And I keep getting a bunch of errors when trying to either uninstall it or install it.

I really need help fixing this CCC issue now, because according to GPU-Z, the 4870 is idling at 78, which I'm guessing isn't a good thing. Can anything other than CCC control the fan of the 4870?

Control Panel>add and remove programs put a check mark in the box on the top that says "show updates". When all the programs and updates finish loading into the display scroll down. If you see Microsoft .net framework 2.0 listed then you have it. There should be several updates and service packs.
If you have any nvidia video card drivers installed remove them.

I go thorugh this every frakking time I update my drivers, and it happend again... there is no fix, I have done everything, short of nuking the computer and reformatting..
I unistalled ATI Cat 8.11 and installed Cat 9.5.

I run WinXP pro 32, Radeon 2900 Pro video card. I have Intel Duo2Core CPU.

I ran Windows Cleanup util and Driver Cleaner Pro. I followed ATI;'s instruntions... still CCC must close.. blah blah blah..

Frakkin bunch of BS..

Wel bru i was runig the same prob, it keeps on skrewing around, i tryed all the posable moves but still no luck.
ive got a 9200 radeon same as yours but when i am done with the installment, XP tells me that it is an 9250 card, so one night i got pised off with this *** and i removed the card and placed it nicely on my drive way and i ramed over and over it again, with a rim with no tyer. and then all my worrys disapeard.....

I got my self a new N vidia 9800GTX plus 512m card and it works like a bom.

My advice to you is fu<k that thing and get somthing worth you wile...

yes, we should all take advice from a bumbling idiot with a supreme lack of knowledge of the English language.

My advice is to delete bernie's account from THG to save us all from stupidity before it swallows us whole.
