Catalyst Control Centre: Host application has stopped working

I did download the amd auto detect and update package from the link and ran the program but while it updated my laptop it did not fix the problem. However the answer from Mike_G01 does seem to have done the trick - so if anyone has this problem follow his advice below.

I'm having the same problem.  It's such a relief to know my pictures aren't gone! I didn't understand why I could still access them through Olympus Master when they were no longer in Pictures. Also, if I try to save another print-screen with the same name as one I'd used before, I receive an error message that the name can't be used.

I attempted to follow the steps you posted to "unhide" my pictures, but I'm afraid I didn't get very far. When I right-click Pictures and go to Pictures Properties, I don't see a General tab. The only tab says, Library. Under Library locations is a checked folder, My Pictures, and the unchecked Public Pictures, which are the only pictures I've seen since I got  "FakeAlert.grb" twice, 3 seconds apart, and flagged as trojans by both McAfee and the Quick Scan of Trojan Remover.

The only way to regain control after this happened was to power off the computer. When I turned it on, everything was black. I did a System Restore back to the last restore point, which was the one done at the time of the last Windows 7 updates. Except for the missing pictures, everything seemed better, but not like it was before this happened. A few days later, my Excel spreadsheet was blank, as well as all of my stats in a downloaded game. Someone suggested I go back to an even earlier restore point to see if it would solve these problems, along with the missing pictures. The Excel data returned, but it didn't restore the game stats or pictures. Of course, going back to the earlier restore point meant having to get the updates again.

I know this is a stupid question, but I'm not very computer-savvy. If I try to uncheck My Pictures, does Remove only remove the check-mark, or will it permanently delete everything that is, hopefully, still there but hidden? Until I do this, Apply is grayed-out, and OK only closes.

Like someone else said, this had been a good computer until this happened. Now I keep getting the Catalyst Control Centre Host application has stopped working error. I went to a link that was posted in response to someone asking how to correct this, but I didn't understand whether I should remove the one I have, or even how to tell which one was the correct one for me. It's also alarming that data keeps disappearing. It makes me wonder what's next.

Thank you. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

The latest is I still get the CCC error when I sign on every day, but I thought this had stopped it for others. :S I ran a full McAfee scan last night, and it found 3 trojans, 1 of which was the 1 I mentioned in this earlier post. It said it quarantined/fixed them all. I ran a Malwarebytes free version scan today, and it didn't find anything. Anyone know of anything else I can o to get rid of the annoying CCC error once and for all?

Thanks, again!

How serious is it if I don't go back to the Control Panel and click on the box to uncheck show hidden files? It doesn't seem to be quite the same in Windows 7, and I don't want to do anything to make all the time I've spent unhiding  pictures to be undone.

Thanks, again!
