Anyone with this Card got the CCC to work? Tryed to install the 12.4 and 12.3 (both for win7 32bit) drivers but the CCC couldn t load.

The Error Message:
Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.
There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center.

Update:
Found a solution that will allow CCC to work with all features. You will need to downgrade e.g. redownload the 11.9 Version. Before you install it you need to a hard unistall of every other AMD software you installed before. That can be done tho Reinstaller Software or over the Control Panel (Express + ALL). If you unistall it over the Control panel you will need to delete the ACCCE.me directory, just take ownership of C:/Program Files/ATI Technologies and delete it. Reboot and install CCC 11.9.

This is the same version I had to use for all the Windows 8 pre-releases. It does work though.

I had the same problem as well...I inevitably broke down and got a 6 series card. The only problem I had with the said fix above was that I couldn't control my fan speeds. Which is why I got the new card, now I'm ready for the final version of 8.
