Attempted to upgrade to Beta Driver for Radeon 7970M, Broke CCC

[anthemcity]

My Catalyst Control Center will no longer open at all. It immediately pops up with the little windows that says Windows has forced it to stop. What should I do?

UPDATE: It seems along with CCC, I've broken all of my 3D based games. Can't launch anything except Minecraft.

Try to uninstall and reinstall it (I'd guess it'll appear in control panel>remove programs), get the latest version before trying to reinstall.

I've tried that, but with the beta driver. Should I go back down to the latest driver?

Yeah if it isn't working. Have you tried a simple restart of your PC?

Rebooted it right after it installed. No luck. :\

That's exactly what I have. Did you get your driver directly from AMD?

Hello m8

For some reason a few people have experienced similar problems to you, maybe you need to do a clean sweep of your AMD drivers and then try to install the AMD driver fresh after that. Do you also have the latest Intel display driver too? I got constant BSOD and regular crashes due to not having the compatible Intel driver.
I'd suggest 1. Installing the most recent Intel Display driver for your Laptop, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ 2. Uninstall the AMD driver. 3. Reboot your system and use Driver Sweeper and remove AMD display drivers from the menu. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4266-driver-sweeper.html 3. Reboot again and install the AMD 12.11 Beta 8 driver from the AMD site http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1211betadriver.aspx 4. Reboot again and fingers crossed you shouldn't have any issues

Hope you get sorted!!

P.S Make sure you download the AMD driver which includes the .NET 4.0 support if you have not downloaded this yet!!
