My acer aspire 5516 says my ati catalyst install manager has stopped working. How do I fix it?

If the mouse is also operating inverted then the video has been rotated by the video software. You can fix that by going into the video setup (nVidia/ATI Catalyst/Intel) and finding the rotation feature and re-inverting the image. If the image is inverted, but the mouse moves normally on the screen, then you have a haunted PC and should run for the hills!

Replace the coin cell battery

If you are certain that your web cam is no longer installed you can re-install via the Acer Recovery Management Program. From main recovery menu, option restore to reinstall applications and drivers, open application/drivers menu, find "Suyin Camera Utility Crystal Eye" click green driver icon to the right to re-install.

HI pewilson929. The Catalyst Control centre is a program that lets you configure your video card settings without using the Control Panel - Display. It installs when you download a driver for you specific ATI product. If you get this error it means you may have the correct driver for your video card. Did you get the driver from ACER or ATI?
Just in case uninstall it from Add/Remove and restart and then download this driver from the acer's website.

I hope this helps. Please let us know if this works for you. Thank you :D

It appears that the display drivers are corrupted. Please reinstall it from the recovery manager.
Click Start>All Programs> Acer erecovery management> Restore> Restore Applicationd and Drivers> Select ATI Radeon and hit install

I can help with getting your desktop onto your TV, but sound from your computer through HDMI can be much trickier.

If you only see a background picture on your TV, then your desktop has been either "extended" or "stretched" onto it. It is essentially a second independent monitor and you can drag applications over to it to see them.

To view your desktop and start menu on your TV, you need to run ati catalyst and "clone" your TV with your computers monitor. Do this by right clicking the picture of the second monitor in the catalyst display manager and choosing "clone". Now your tv and your monitor act as one.

Although i tried 3 different ati cards with hdmi outs that claimed to pump audio through hdmi, none of them worked for my HP PC. You will need a grey widget adaptor between your computer and the hdmi cable. In the end though, there's a conflict between my sound card and ATI's HDMI audio that cannot be resolved. So I run a digital SPDIF signal instead through an rca cable and get 5.1 dolby at my amp that way. Good luck.

re install the drivers.

Alright. Re-install the ATI drivers but when it asks, select Custome setup.

When it shows the components to be installed, select the Drivers only, Do not install the Catalyst program.

This turned out to be my situation a few years back.

Give it a try and let me know and we can go from there.

Good luck
