To clarify, is the aticcp.exe a silent installer of some sort?  It runs briefly and I do not get any error messages, but when I manually try to run atiptaxx.exe from Program Files I get the same error ("The ATI Control Panel failed to initialize because no ATI driver is installed, or ATI driver is not working properly.  The ATI Control Panel will now exit.").  Rebooting makes no difference.  Do you want me to uninstall the CCP before and then run it?

You ABSOLUTELY must have .NET installed or the control panel will fail to install wink

you can select None for the control panel option in base to verify this is the problem

I have the second option selected (ATI Catalyst Control Panel) which does not state that .NET is required (the first option, ATI CCC, does).  Does the CCP also require the .NET FW?

I let the unattended go as I left yesterday, came in today, logged in, greeted by an ATI error.

Windows is in the "Personalized Settings, Setting up personalized settings for: Windows Desktop Update"
The error is:
ATI AVIVO Codecs
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\atimcenc.dll failed to register.  HRESULT -2147010895.  Contact your support personnel.  Cancel/Retry/Ignore.

Retry fails, ignore brings up another for atidvcr.dll, then atixcode.dll, then it completes.  Then the Desktop finally loads and I'm greeted with "The ATI Control Panel failed to initialize because no ATI driver is installed, or ATI driver is not working properly.  The ATI Control Panel will now exit."  Indeed, the adapter has no drivers.  Arg.

Sure, but it'll have to wait till tomorrow to let you know how it went (leaving in 30 minutes).  Thanks for the help smile

edit: lol @ "Where did you get that?"

Using Process Explorer, the winhlp32.exe process is being spawned off the atiptaxx.exe process; killing it makes the error message go away. 

As for the card, no branding on it (half-height PCIE card for the mini Dell case).  One label (green) has P/N 102A7710920 00001.  Another has ATI-102-A771(B) which, after a google, looks exactly like this and sounds like it's an X1300 from this site.  Let me know if I can be of any more help (I can boot up a liveCD and get the PCI ID if you want).

Thanks for the welcome smile

I am now getting this message on my Dell Optiplex 745 (Radeon X1300/X1550 Series).  I know it's being caused by atiptaxx.exe and it happens under all users at logon.  I used DriverPack Base 8.05 to slipstream 8.04 graphics drivers (method 2, no KTD, QSC yes) on an XP Pro SP3 unattended CD (created with nLite).  If you need any more info, let me know.  Thanks for the great software, it's been working great otherwise! smile
