It seems as though this is a universal problem after updating Catalyst Control Center and probably is not related to the drivers download itself. Try the following steps to return CCC to its normal status as this is what worked for me after the 8.10 update and incurring the same problem as you now report:
1) Uninstall CCC as well as updated ATI drivers. Do not use Windows control panel to do this, instead download a free utility called "Revo Uninstaller" (Google it - it\'s free) and use it to uninstall the 2 aforementioned programs, and set the tool to it\'s highest setting as this also displays registry settings and related files remaining after the normal sloppy uninstall, that you will then be able to completely uninstall with this tool.
2) Do not reinstall CCC and drivers yet, as you next must go to your C:\ drive and look for any ATI folders that are probably remaining in this location. You do not have to delete them at this time but simply rename them, such as "ATI**_Old". Actually, you will have to go into the TaskManager first and STOP 2 services that are probably running: "MOM.exe" and "CCC.exe" before you will get permission to rename the folder(s).
3) Next, proceed to the "C:\Program Files" directory and again look for possibly 2 or more folders in this directory (folder) that are prefixed with the name "ATI***" (*** stands for a wildcard placeholder in the text). Again, do not delete them as yet, but simply rename them by adding the suffix "_Old" to the folder name. (You can delete them if you like after CCC regains its normal functionality.)
4) Lastly, now reinstall Catalyst Control Center and your required drivers and you will now see new ATI folders in the locations that we just reviewed. When completed try restarting CCC and it should open properly now. You may have to reboot your computer for the actions to take effect.
5) The problem does not appear to be a "driver issue" at all but is more related to the lack of a proper uninstall procedure (ATI should step in and write a good uninstalling application that deletes these retained BUT conflicting folders that are simply confusing the execution of CCC. As you can see by the spinning of the hourglass icon in windows at startup, CCC is trying to start and indeed it\'s 2 services, MON.exe and CCC.exe do in fact appear as running processes in takmanager, but with competing and conflicting folder information the "CCC GUI" won\'t open because the shortcut points to multiple versions of the file at the same time, so NO choice (execution) is the result. Remember, computers are Dumb, and only a little smarter than people!
