Sorry for bring back an extremely dead thread, but will this work for the 4850? I cant see an xml file so i cant change that that way so i think this is the only remaining option for me.

If you are using CCC 8.7, then the XML file will be inside the "Profiles" folder.

Well i somehow fixed it (it just came up out of nowhere after a restart) so im good to go now. But the ACE folder was empty before so there was no profile folder
