Drats. Many links are gone including its zip files. :(

Ooh, I forgot about that software. I always used the reference softwares 
from chipsets. I am using a MSI R4870-T2D512 OC Radeon HD 4870 video 
card from 2012. I can't seem to find anything related to old Radeon HD 
like https://us.msi.com/search/radeon%20HD. Argh. 

So, I had to use DuckDuckGo's search for 
https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/support/R4870T2D512OC#down-driver&Win7%2064: 
https://download.msi.com/uti_exe/vga/MSIAfterburnerSetup.zip redirects me to https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner
https://download.msi.com/archive/vga/dvr_exe/ATI_8.723_Win7_Vista.zip (7/23/2010 -- old!!).
Do I really want to use these?

I downloaded .NET v4.8, but that didn't fix it. I tried my downloaded 
dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe, but it wouldn't let me because I had a newer 
version (v4.8). I only can repair and uninstall v4.8. Repair didn't help 
so I uninstalled it. CCC still doesn't work. I retried v4.5 installation 
with and without updates from Windows Update to retry CCC. It must be 
something else. :(

I don't see any other versions in mu uninstall list. Programs and 
Features only show v3.5.1. I have no idea what other softwares use .NET. 
I just don't want to break them too.

Worse case scenarios: Live without CCC and reinstall W7. :(
