    Has anyone update to Win 8 and the new 7970m driver for it?

    I get an error when trying to launch Catalyst Control Center (say it won't start).

    I've tried re-installing the driver two times but didn't work.

    PS. I think my daughter broke my keyboard as I have to press down hard on the keys sometimes. Is there a video on how to clean the keyboard (dis-assembly) as I think that might fix it.

    Thanks.

    The beta drivers will support Windows 8 and CCC.

    I couldn't get them to work at first. I did a Win8 "refresh", and then installed the beta drivers right away. CCC still doesn't really work right, but it does seem to be utilizing the 7970m, as minecraft went from a bit choppy to smooth as butter. I'm leaving it alone until they come out with the next stable update.
