CCC window blank (11.6 with hotfix, m17x r2)

Just what the topic says. Installed 11.6 but my CCC won't open unless I revert back to an older version. I just get a blank window that I can resize but there's nothing in it. If I click in the upper left hand area of the window it'll take me to the AMD site so while the window doesn't display anything it's not precisely empty. I'm running dual 5870s.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, applying the hotfix, deleting the ATI registry keys prior to reinstalling, trying to find the relevant assembly in c:\windows\assembly but it's not there, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Got it kind of working. Backed off the ATI software and reinstalled the last released Dell ATI video driver. Then I updated the CCC to 11.5 and the rest to 11.6. This still hasn't solved my problem (I'm now running the latest drivers with an old CCC) but at least I'm not locked out completely or running outdated drivers.

Did a full removal of all ATI software using the AMD Catalyst TwL Cleaner 3.9.2 script and reinstalled 11.6 clean. This fixed CCC in the current version for me FYI.
