Method 2: Unhide the AppData Files
Another reason for this error to occur is because of some malware hiding your important system files. Some users reported that the Vista Recovery Center malware became the cause of this issue on their Windows Vista operating systems. If you had it installed too, simply uninstalling it won’t solve the problem. The files it hid will still be hidden. In the case of Catalyst control center, the folder present at the C:\Users\”Your username here”\ folder contains a directory by the name AppData which contains files that Catalyst control center needs for it to function. When it’s hidden, the application can’t find it and hence malfunctions. To fix the issue, follow these steps: Move over to the View tab and make sure Show hidden files and folders is checked under the “Hidden files and folders” section. For Windows Vista / 7: Press the ALT key and choose Tools -> Folder Options For Windows 8 / 10: View -> Options -> Change Folder and Search Options -> View Tab
Now move back to the explorer window and find the folder named ATI. Right click on it and select Properties. Against the Attributes section you should see a checkbox behind “Hidden”. It should currently be checked, uncheck it by clicking on it.
Click on Apply. Restart your PC and try running the application again.
