From the initial setup in windows 7 the account you create doesn’t have full administrative rights. It’s all most an administrator but not quite. Which is why you have to use the run as administrator option to change and edit certain system files. If you need to make a custom entry in your windows host file you will have to run notepad as an administrator. To do this all you need to do is click Start and in the search bar type notepad, right click on the notepad icon that appears in the results area. Choose the “run as administrator” option. Then hit file open and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. There you will find the HOSTS file and you will be allowed to edit and save the changes to the system file.

ATI has changed their user interface a bit for the newer Windows 7 Catalyst drivers. They seem to have hidden some important features that you would use if you connect your PC /HDTV via HDMI. If you are having trouble finding the HDMI options just fallow these steps. (my problem was finding the overscan option to turn it off)

Right click desktop
Enter Catalyst Control Center- advanced menu

Graphics dropdown – Desktop & Displays

Right click you HDMI connected display (monitor/TV)

Click on configure and it will take you to the HDMI options
