Catalyst Control Center

[Emcee]

I installed the newest version because my card (5770) is doing that auto-scaling thing they like to do, leaving black bars along all borders. It's easy to fix by just adjusting it in CCC, but when I open CCC there are no available settings for displays.

Any idea what's up?

I have the same problem. Installing version 11.12 worked for me...
Previous Catalyst 64 bit
Previous Catalyst 32 bit

Click the link for your arch.

when you install 11.12 it will require .NET 3.5 framework to be installed... I have no idea if 12.1 uses 3.5 or 4.x, but perhaps the 12.1 fails to work properly because it doesn't install 3.5 when it needs it? just a guess.

Thanks, I'll check it out later.

Maybe you can try the driver that AMD provides for Windows 8 CP.
It runs well on my notebook and pc.
AMD Catalyst Drivers Windows 8 Consumer Preview

That is just a driver, and I believe it's already part of Windows 8 update. The control center still fails to launch. In time, it will be fixed.

Hi, not meaning to reply to this thread that is months old and cause an uproar but I have a solution culled from another source that fixes these black bars.

If you have ANY AMD/ATI junkware installed, remove it and then reboot.

1. Open regedit, go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\
2. There will be various long strings here beginning with brackets
3. One of these will be for your monitor/HDTV
***To discern which is for your TV, expand each one. The one that has a subkey with "0000" and/or "0001" is for your TV.
4. Once that is found, select 0000
5. Create a new DWord value. 32 bit is fine.
6. Type this for the key: DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan
7. The value will default to "0". Leave that.
8. Reboot
9. Blammo. Full screen.

If that doesn't work, I would strongly suggest repeating the above steps AFTER doing a Windows 8 refresh, which removes all software added to Windows 8 but keeps your files.

I have also found that the above does not work if the following key in the same 0000 key directory is set to "0": TVEnableOverscan. If that is 0, set it to 1.
