    Hey

    Just wondering quickly if anyone knows where i can get it to auto-start up with windows?

    It was working fine on my mates pc, but for some reason it has stopped and now it doesn't auto-start.

    Its for fan purposes, as the graphics card fan runs too low on idle therefore I need the control center to ramp it up a bit.

    I can get into it by accessing the application itself, but I need it to auto-run when others use the pc.



    can anyone help? I'm on nvidia myself at the moment - its for my mate therefore can't access the pc directly at the moment and would like it sorted asap.


    thanks peeps :)

    Open it up, go into options and Preferences, tick Enable System Tray Menu.

    Failing that, reinstall it. It should reset the service.

    click start then in the search bar type msconfig, then hit enter, click start up box and see if it's in the start up menu and make sure it's ticked

    the preferences one should work, if not, in the same options menu, restore to defaults as i believe the default is to start with windows

    thanks

    What methods to re-install? Driversweep and all that or just 'repair' via the setup.exe?

    Just the usual ATI uninstall from CP. I've had this bug happen a few times to me with previous versions of CCC, where it doesn't start with Windows and right clicking desktop fails to bring it up.

    Another option is to use MSI Afterburner. You can set up a more advanced profile if you want.
