T-60 Video Question

#1 Post by Truthfinder » Sat Aug 04, 2007 10:43 pm

I have a T-60, #2623-D7U and noticed that I'm missing the ATI Catalyst Control Center for some reason.

My ThinkPad is always kept up to date with the latest drivers and patches. Would one of the updates have removed the Catalyst Control Center for some reason or another? If not, how can I get this back............. Would anyone have a shortcut to the site?

Kindest Regards, Steve

ATI Catalyst Control

#3 Post by Truthfinder » Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:00 pm

Hi:

The reason I enjoyed having the ATI Catalyst Control was the fact that I had way more CONTROL over my display colors and contrast. I was able to take out some of the washed out look we sometimes get with these notebook LCDs............

Any other sugjestions that would aid in giving me a more pleasing display..............

Thanks, Steve

Display properties

#5 Post by Truthfinder » Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:48 pm

I went into the display properties and there are NO adjustments in there for adjsting the color, contrast or anything for that mater.

There is only ONE adjustment for my display and that's using the FNC key and brightness adjustment. That is it..............

Apparently, I updated something and it removed my ATI Catalyst Control center which was where I was able to make all kinds of display adjustments..........

I'm at a loss at this point.............

Reinstall the Catalyst drivers and it should reinstall the Control Center.

Thanks, I did the re-install and the ATI Catalyst Control Center is back.

I noticed my ThinkPad started to act strange after putting the ATI Catalyst Control Center back in. Freeze up and the such.

I removed it and the Laptop is again working great. I guess I'll have to live without it.............. Not a problem.............
