HD 2600 Pro: "ATI Desktop Control Panel has encountered a problem"
I'm running a Windows XP system with an ATI Radion 2600 PRO video
adapter. Every time I start Windows I get an error box that says, "ATI Desktop Control Panel has encountered a problem and needs to close." The card works fine, but I'd like to be able to run the utility. Does anyone have ideas about what may be wrong, or how to figure it out? |

Oops - I see you said "reinstalling," not "installing." I can do that,
but as a matter of prudence I want to make a current a system backup first. It may take a few days. I'll let you know how it turns out. |

First, I tried to uninstall the component with the "Add/Remove Software" applet. It told me that it could not remove the file because programs were using it. (It didn't tell me what programs, of course.) I consulted the Microsoft Knowledge Base and found an article which explains "How to manually remove and then reinstall the .NET Framework 2.0" (KB908077). The first step was to start the installer and remove the file with the comment "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 RTL x86 enu." There was no such file. OK, I decided to move on to the next step to see what would happen. The instructions told me to go to C:\Windows\SYSTEM32 and delete the directory URTTemp and the file mscoree.dll. I deleted the directory. When I tried to delete the file I got "access denied," presumably because a program is using it. At this point enough weird stuff has happened that I want to stop and ask for your comment. Its funny but right after i posted the last time, my Catalyst Control Center went belly up too. The solution i had that i was going to tell you is to download this program, called ..NET Cleanup Tool http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/arc...30/611355.aspx And then you have to reinstall at least .NET 2.0 to get CCC to work again. There are a couple of very important caveats that you should read before using this tool to cleanup .NET Framework bits on your machine: 1.This tool is designed as a last resort for cases where install, uninstall or repair did not succeed for unusual reasons. It is not intended as a substitute for the standard uninstall procedure. You should try to perform an uninstall from Add/Remove Programs before using this cleanup tool. 2.This cleanup tool will delete shared files and registry keys used by other versions of the .NET Framework. If you run the cleanup tool, you will need to perform a repair or reinstall for all other versions of the .NET Framework that are on your computer to get them to work correctly afterwards. |

I've been using this video card for about a year now, and I've survived without the Control Panel so far; perhaps a more sensible solution is to delete the Control Panel so that it won't annoy me with an error message every time I boot. What do you think of that approach? I Googled "ati control panel uninstall" and found many hits, but the ones I looked at all state or imply that it's impossible to uninstall the Control Panel alone; if you do, the drivers go with it. There's no "ATI Control Panel" entry in Add or Remove Programs, but there are several other ATI entries: ATI AVIVO Codecs ATI Catalyst Install Manager ATI Display Driver ATI Problem Report Wizard None of those looks like a disguise for a Control Panel, but...? Its perfectly safe to allow the .NET uninstaller to wipe everything related to .NET. then you just need to go and download the installer for say .NEt 2.0 from microsofts web site and then your back in business. Or you can just got to WINDOWS UPDATE under programs and let it redetec and download and reinstall the .NET stuff. I am back up now. |

Run the ATI Catalyst Install Manager. You can use it to uninstall individual ATI apps. Follow the prompts through Custom Uninstallation, and you will then have check boxes for different items. Mine gives me the choices listed below. This is for a HD5850, so your options will probably vary slightly.
