A way to get back Catalyst Control Center with AMD Radeon HD 4200?

Yes.Could it be that I picked the wrong inf file?

Also, is it best to do a complete install of the 13.4 legacy driver, or to do a custom install and only select certain components? Could installing the whole thing have been a mistake?

I have had a similar problem, but in Windows 7 - old laptop without supported graphic driver. In my opinion it is best to install whole package, if you can. Otherwise manually.
When you picked inf file - what did installer show? Before you confirmed installation the name is presented to you.

These are another instructions from MS forums:

1. Install the driver

2. Go to Device Manager -> Graphics Card (or Video Card, or something similar)

3. Right click, select Update Driver

4. Choose the second option, something like "Search driver on the computer"

5. Choose "Select driver from list"

6. Click button "Device..." (right corner)

7. Now you have to choose a file. Navigate to the folder "C:\AMD\Support\13-1-legacy_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF".

Maybe the folder has a slightly different name in your case!

8. There should be a few files in this folder, choose one of them and click Okay

9. Back in the list there should now be one or a few entries with a name similar to your card (Radeon HD 4200)

10. Click Next - the driver should install

11. Restart your computer


Hope I could clarify things a little bit!

"C7156445.inf".

Should I manually delete the AMD folder on my C drive before trying to install the drivers again?

AndreTen, I tried everything again, and I don't know what I did different, but it worked this time! I have the full Catalyst Control Center on my computer now, and it seems to be working fine. Thank you for all the help!

-I just didn't care for the UI of the new "Radeon Settings", so I re-installed CCC on top of it(no removal) and now I have both. No conflicts.

Great . Have to admit, i often do it that way also. Try until it works.
Sorry for late answer, guess it has something to do with longitudal and other geo settings in my Windows
