I get the following message when my XP starts up and when I try to open ATI
Catalyst configuration tool:
"You do not have permission to change Catalyst Control Center settings.
Please contact your administrator for further help"

Well, I am the administrator. That's the only profile I have on my system.

That's a rather bad plan, though if this is XP Home there certainly is
another account, the real Administrator account, available *only* in Safe
Mode.

If this isn't XP Home, create a new user account and shift to it, and stop
using the Administrator account.

Anyone know how I can resolve this?

Googling "You do not have permission to change Catalyst Control Center
settings" returns a number of suggestions for this, successful and
unsucessful. Check that the Event Log service hasn't been disabled.
Apparently that can trigger this problem.

You might try checking with ATI, too.
