Hello.
I can't open my old ATI/AMD Radeon 4870 (512 MB of VRAM)'s video card driver
(13-9-legacy_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe)'s Catalyst Control Center GUI (still
can run its background install location\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CCC.exe process
though) in my over decade old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC. It used to work a few
months ago though so something broke. I tried uninstalling, rebooting, and
reinstalling AMD driver+CCC suite into a new directory, but it still didn't work.
I still can extend and unextend my 1920x1080 desktop to my secondary old dumb
21.5" Samsung SyncMaster T22B350ND HDTV with my primary 23.6" 16:9 1920x1080
pixels ASUS VS247H-P monitor. Both video connections are using DVI-VGA adapters
and VGA cables via an old Y2K OmniCube KVM. I don't think it is a hardware issue.
http://pastebin.com/raw/MBJP13hc for my detailed event logs and opening about
showing a crash with an unhandled exception with MS .NET Framework. What's the
problem? Is it my .NET? Something else? I hope I don't have to reinstall my W7
from scratch to get it back. 
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 
Aaron Stebners "netfx_setupverifier_new.zip" confirms this
for us, although somewhat clumsily (as the tester menu
grays out and won't allow selecting just anything you want
to test). Aaron Stebner appears to be a Microsoft employee
from the .NET group, who has constructed cleaning and
verification tools for the great unwashed masses.
Is there an official web site for this program to download from?
It's on Stebners OneDrive. Yes, that's a nuisance to find.
You'll find breadcrumbs for that all over the place. "skydrive.live.com"
is part of the path of the official one. Remember, it's not a
Microsoft software product, it doesn't have support, yet it's
an important part of debugging .NET situations.

Thanks. According to
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/re...n-cat-win-13-9 web
page, it needs .NET Framework v4.5 -- "* The AMD Catalyst 13.9 Software
Suite requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 to be installed. Microsoft
.NET Framework 4.5 is included in all Catalyst packages)."
I wonder if there is a third party software to take over old CCC with
similiar features like checking statistcs, overriding fan speeds, video
options, etc.
An older version would depend on .net 2.0 .
And there is CCC, CCC2, Crimson, there are different
names for the different versions. I would not be
surprised if the latest named version uses
a different .net value.
It's unlikely someone else would code up
a control panel. Only on a bar bet perhaps.
The softwares that do exist, set clocks
or support overclocking or undervolting on
the video cards. MSI Afterburner? being an
example ?
If you're dependent on .NET 4.5, can't you
remove it and reinstall it. Or even go into
Programs and Features, select the line item
and select "Repair" from the three-choice menu.
Not all items have a "Repair", just the well
crafted ones do. Some items only offer "Remove".
