Title: CCC.exe not working/opening on windows 7 64 bit?
Post by: gigabytecoin on April 19, 2011, 09:21:42 PM
So I tried to unlock/overclock my card.

I only got as far as attempting to open CCC.exe to "unlock" it.

I attempted to open CCC.exe while mining with the poclbm gui miner on windows.

Nothing ever showed up. The miner seemed to work fine still.

So I stopped the miner, and attempted to re-open CCC.exe - every time I try to do so the Command Line version of it appears in the windows task manager but I don't see anything.

Now upon starting up the miner again my CPU is at 100% and I am getting ~3MHash/sec

I forced a few programs to close via task manager, possibly "Cypress" is being redirected to the CPU now if I turned off the wrong program?

Re-starting now... should fix the majority of the problems... but has anybody else noticed CCC.exe not working on windows 7 64 bit and do you have any idea on how to fix it?

I use Win7 64 bit Ultimate and havent run into any issues with CCC.
I would d/l and try using MSI Afterburner (much more robust tool).

There was a link on these forums regarding finding the sweet spot for your video card by adjusting core clock settings.

I tweaked my card settings a bit (HD6850) and am running ~210Mhash/s @ 74C stable (I also work on that computer while mining as well).
