    Anyone else's CCC missing? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times and I still can't access any of the CCC. Log reported installing CCC successfully and it comes up as an installed program when I right click the desktop or go into start menu. When I try to start it up, I get the "loading" mouse icon and then nothing.


    EDIT: Forgot to use drive sweeper to do a clean uninstall. Problem solved.

    Hey, at least it isn't WHQL. Once WHQL is supported and we don't see 6000, then we can worry a little.

    i just installed over the old one but make sure you choose the correct folder. the beta installer by default is 'ati technology' but my stock is just 'ati'. you have to change the folder to the stock one 'ati' so the installer will check which components need to be update

    Than you guys th eresponse. I istalled it just over the ones from the cd, but I reverted richt back :) Tryed those 12.7 betas, but gaming performance was basicly the same except battlefield went even worse stayng somewhere around 60 percent utilization all the time while the stock ones were hoverring from 60 to 90 %. 3d mark 11 didnt finist, crashed at the 4th graphic test and overclocking abilitie was also a bit worse. I still prefer the ones that came on the disk.

    Because 12.6 WHQL doesnt't support the 7970M. We need a sticky that has this in bold capital letters as the title. Too many people trying to install it without researching what it supports.
