I getting dotNet errors all over the place from these CatControl drivers. The
plain drivers seem find but the control center is causing problems.

No actual crashes but many exceptions. Can't find c:\branding.dll, can't find
cc-skins.xml, can't find core-static.xml... It really isn't any wonder that it
can't find them. These files are no where to be found on the drive.

My card is cheapie 1650-pro HIV_ Not sure why that should be an issue.

Any clues?

Bad install or possibly the file you D/L is corrupt. I see .MSI installer
files in ATI Support folder for these. I searched for the files without the
path or extender. You may need to clean before reinstalling.

I did a 'clean' install. Or at least followed ATI's instructions_ (no sure how
much that actually 'cleans' out_ Also redownloaded the file_ Same issue. Seems
to me like the files just aren't there. At least they don't show up after the
install is complete.

You have the latest dot net installed, 3.0?

Yes... 1.1, 2, 3, VS2005 for debuging and development. And a handy tool for
viewing the actual contents of the MSI tables...

I searched in the actual MSI files and I don't find these anywhere. CLOSE but
not by these names. In addition why on earth are the RAID and IDE drivers in
this install package???? Doesn't seem to me like I want my video card drivers
screwing around with my raid array. There is no 'binding.dll' file any place in
the MSI tables. There is no ccc-skins.xml file either. There IS a skins.xml in
the CCC directory but the error in the event log clearly says, "CCC-Skins.xml"
in the skins directory. Nadda there!! Same goes for C:\Program Files\ATI
Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\Core-Static.xml'. No such file. Same for
'file:///C:\Branding.dll' Nothing like that on my machine OR in the MSI files
that I have found yet...

Looks to me like they have some problems here. Ultimately results in a .NET
exception in the system log. Not particularly kool.
