No it's the driver tying itself to something else... That or CCleaner wiped something out.

I always follow a strict uninstall method but this time something didnt take...

If I remove the 12.4 driver and even remove any stragglers from the registry, plus do a clean 12.8 install shit happens! why? I have know Idea..

I install straight over the 12.4's and not a single freaking issue! Now you tell me?

CCleaner and driver cleaner apps always break things. they're a last resort before a format, and not something to be used regularly.

I find just doing a back up is all it takes b4 a CC run.

Ya gotta be selective on what ya check off in the CCleaner options . :toast:

Pay 9-1 odd's, Driver sweeper is the problem

Aussi man, CCleaner is a big deal over in the united states lmao...

But to tell ya something.... I've used CC Crap Cleaner for 5 yrs and it never, ever, let me down!

I'm seeing some graphical corruption in Civilization V on my 5870 with 12.8. DX11 unmodded game. Everything else looks good so far, but Civ is one of those games you keep going back to every now and then.

Yup FF blows for some time but I was always stubborn as I hate learning new browsers.

Chrome is bloody hell fast! Just one thing while we're on the browser topic,
Does one need to configure Chrome like Fire Fox when using an SSD?

Not to jump way off topic but if you still like the way FF looks and feels you could try the 64-bit Waterfox......been using it for a month or so now.

Installed these the other day but haven't had a chance to check games or benchmarks yet, but nothing weird so far :roll:

just installed over 12.6's

Just installed clean copy with deleting old drivers with sweeper,but if gave out error that there was some problems with installation,and catalyst wont run

I am having the same issue. Catalyst Control Center won't open after installing 12.8

Uninstalled, reinstalled, ran driver sweeper, redownloaded it, reinstalled, no dice. CCC won't open.

Try updating your dot net framework. 4.5 was released recently.

t_ski · Aug 21, 2012

Is .NET 4.5 a requirement? Most of the .NET frameworks are not upgrades or updates, but separate packages.

Mussels · Aug 21, 2012

updated to 12.8 here, and no trouble at all with 'AMD vision center' (aka CCC) opening.

wickerman · Aug 24, 2012

I've had weird issues with 12.8, primarily causing Firefox to go nuts. Basically if I run 12.8 and I load up Firefox, after about 5 minutes on any image heavy site (reading a review for example) and Firefox turns black and everything corrupts. Have to close firefox then load it back up. It also seemed to have completely killed flash as well, I can no longer run flash 11 at all. Just crashes the plugin every time. Had to install an older version (10.x) for now, might try to get the latest working with 12.7 betas again.

Also seems to cause trouble playing Sleeping Dogs, sometimes it crashes on boot, or refuses to run full screen at all. Otherwise no problems on my 7950 crossfire, but these are bad enough to force me back into 12.7 betas.

I never really did like the ATI drivers, a part of me wants to toss these 7950s in the sale section and go for a pair of 670s in sli.

LOL!!!! that might be the funniest thing ive read all week. I played it for an hour, didn't like it, but no way in hell does that mean its the worst game in history.

I believe 2.0 is a requirement for CCC.

t_ski · Aug 24, 2012

That I knew from previous installations, but .NET 4.5 would not have anything to do with .NET 2.0.

SIGSEGV · Aug 24, 2012

i read on [H] review about this catalyst through "GALAXY GTX 660 Ti GC OC vs. OC GTX 670 & HD 7950", HD7950 overclocked with this latest catalyst is being faster than GTX670 OC

Unless AMD have updated (CCC) to a newer version. I only mentioned it because 4.5 had been released a day or two before, oh and that updating/reinstalling the framework may help.

Jaffakeik · Aug 24, 2012

reinstalled my 12.8 now they work like they should,but still there was error on log on installation,but atleast now I can open Catalyst panel

and some strange vertical line on rights side on monitor dissapiered
