I've been searching for a solution to this for days, and I'm at a loss...
I just did a fresh install of the latest hotfix drivers from AMD, and I ran the cleanup utility beforehand. All of the drivers seem to install fine but I cannot open the AMD Radeon Settings app. It's maddening... all i get is the error that I've attached for your enjoyment.
That's all that happens I'm afraid... can't figure it out.
This is with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit w/ SP1 and a R9 290X. The card is healthy as I just upgraded from an older driver set which worked fine. I've tried running the program as and admin and all that jazz and it still doesn't open. I even uninstalled GPU Tweak and updated the redistribute packages for C++ since MSVCR120.dll is mentioned.
Other than that I have no information. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
