My CCC just will not open. When I first bought the computer, everything worked fine. It was adequate for me. Then after a while, CCC would look like this:

That's the advanced view. There are no other options to tinker other than Hydravision. After doing a bunch of other stuff, I uninstalled Hydravision and now the thing won't even open which ever way I try booting it up.
I asked this on another forum and what they said that it was a bad driver update, and I'd have to uninstall and reinstall drivers. My card is a RADEON HD 4350.

I asked for a step-by-step process of doing this since I don't want to mess something up. I haven't gotten a reply, so anyone mind helping me?
I also installed the version 10.2 drivers from the site, and it didn't fix the problem.

Also, there are some unsmooth fading textures in some games and flash, but I assume this is just the card.
Thanks to anyone who helps me.

normally you would just go to control panel, add /remove programs , and uninstall all ati software.

Before doing this, download the latest drivers from http://www.amd.com/u...MDHomePage.aspx

Optionally (too fully remove any leftovers)
try this

Download and install Revo Uninstaller
  • Double click the Revo Uninstaller icon on your desktop to start the program
  • Scroll through the listed programs and Right Click on the program you wish to uninstall
  • From the pop out menu choose Uninstall
  • Click Yes to the confirmation dialogue
  • In the next window select the Advanced mode
  • Click Next to start uninstalling the program
  • Answer Yes to confirm the uninstall
  • When the program has completed the four steps, click Next to allow the program to search for leftovers
  • Once complete, click Next, then Finish
  • Repeat the above steps for any other programs you wish to remove.


If you have any questions about a particular step, please let us know.
