ATI CCC PROBLEM

[br0nx2]

Hey guys and gals. IM STUMPED. I just purchased a radeon xfx 4870 for my rig and downloaded the latest drivers. My problem is that I cannot open CCC and have tried literally EVERYTHING. I reinstalled the drivers, then went into safe mode and used a driver cleaner, I uninstalled all .NET framework and went into safe mode and uninstalled .net again with a driver cleaner, I reinstalled all the new frameworks, I have done each one of those steps numerous times and in a couple different orders. When I first login to windows (XP 32bit sp3) I get "Catalyst Control Center: Host application enountered a problem", the box with the send dont send...When I go to open CCC same box pops up. Im so frustrated and do not know what to do. I went from a 8800gt 512mb to a radeon 4870 1gb and I play half life 2 and I LOST about 30fps! If anyone has any idea please please please let me know I am so frustrated. Thank You.

Download CCC again, or try for a slightly older version, if you can. If you think the driver settings are causing your framerate drop, maybe one of the third party controls will help? Stuff like RivaTuner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (mostly Nvidia) or search for an ATI specific equivalent. EnTech Taiwan | Utilities | PowerStrip may be the one I was thinking of.
