JK1150 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 honestly, I just don't use the CCC. The regular control panel does the same thing. Are they gonna take away the regular control panel version and only have a CCC version for future drivers though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there are some driver settings that are accessible only with Catalyst Control Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synomenon Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I deleted the registry key, but when I click on the "ATI CATALYST? Control Center" option on the context menu when I right click on the desktop, the Catalyst Control Center still opens. Also, when I click on "ATI Catalyst Control Center" in the "ATI Catalyst Control Center" in the start menu, the Catalyst Control Center Still opens. I was under the impression that after deleting that registry entry (shown at the beginning of this thread), the Catalyst Control Center would not run unless that .bat file was run first.

Chode Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Wow....I thought this thread had gone the way of the dodo :| I have to admit that I no longer find need for this workaround as of Catalyst 5.7, as the memory usage of a closed CCC are now perfectly acceptable.

Silgan Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Is it ok just to delete cli.exe from the Run folder in the registry or would this affect my graphics card when playing games as the Catalyst Control Center wouldn't be running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeL_dAmAgE Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Or just download the driver only. . . the download link is on the Dail-Up section, and just choose "Driver Only". Easy, and no need for anything extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imtoomuch Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 They need to get rid of the skinning engine on this app. It's just extra unneeded bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Man Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Does this guide still work (its almost a year old). Just making sure before I try it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Thomas- Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I think the best way is just to install ATI Display Driver (uncheck Catalyst Control Center when installing drivers) and the ATI Tray Tools (Ray Adams). 2MB memory usage, and all the options easily accessible. No pretty 3D preview, but I rather just have the settings once you know what you are doing. Also, I disabled the ATI Hotkey Polling service or whatever, since ATI Tray Tools takes care of the hotkeys, so I only have atitray.exe running (2MB of RAM).

CrazyDelta Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I am curious to know everyone's views on CCC. It is almost a year later since this thread first came to be. Has ATI improved on their software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol911 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 It takes about 20-30 seconds for me to load CCC, and I'm on a AMD 4000+ with 2gb ram, using a X1900XTX. The CCC is full of unecessary images and loads of crap, the skins are still in. Funny enough I think the default one is called QuickSilver (more like SlowSilver). The card rocks, but the CCC is ****e :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANova Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I am curious to know everyone's views on CCC. It is almost a year later since this thread first came to be. Has ATI improved on their software? Yes it's improved a great deal. If you disable the preview and tray menu as well as use the system skin it starts up in about 4 seconds first try and 1 or 2 thereafter. Plus it uses less than 10Mb when idle. ATI tray tools is still better though, unless you have a muti-display setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 I'll have to try a newer release of the CCC again. Currently I'm using the old CP + Latest drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDelta Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 So what about The OMEGA Drivers then? Are they beneficial to have? Do you still get the CCC with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
