are u using latest drivers (13.1 or 13.2 beta) and installed the directx pack and (if desired) the directx 11.1 enable for win 7 from the ms website and .net 4 first?
Case - Cooler Master HAF X 942
Motherboard - Crosshair V Formula-Z
CPU - AMD FX-8350 ( OC'd @ 4.5GHz)
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master V8
GPU - Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7970 GHz Edition 6GB
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3 (2x4GB) @ 2400MHz (using XMP #1)
PSU - Cooler Master SilentPower Gold 800
HDD - WD 150GB Raptor & WD 1TB Caviar Green
OS - Win. 7 Ultimate 64 bit

and if all else fails u can go to device manager, and manually force "standard VGA" to take the 7970 drivers from the C:\AMD\Support\-insert catalyst package here-\Bin64 folder, once that is done u should be able to restart the computer and rerun the catalyst installer

.net and All my Mavimus V gene software is updated, ive used that method of manual forcing the driver install and it now detects the 7900 but the catalist still doesnt install see the grafic card afterwards and doesnt compleat the install.

Now what do i do ?
