Title: Anyone running Icarus using cgminer Win7 x86? Help!
Post by: chungenhung on May 25, 2012, 09:36:33 PM
Having problems running Icarus using cgminer 2.4.1 on Win7 x86.
The laptop have Core 2 Due, with 965 chipset.
First I got the OPENCL.DLL file missing error. So I downloaded from http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/vcsource-tools-opencl-sdk/
and choose the "OpenCL CPU Only Runtime 2012".
Have that installed, and now when I start cgminer, a windows error pops up
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application".

Any ideas? Have anyone successfully run cgminer on Win7 for Icarus?

My bat script:
cgminer.exe -o http://xxx.com:8332 -u username -p password -S COM4 --disable-gpu --failover-only

I think it is not that. I look up the error code, and it has to do with programs not having the right permissions for the DLL file. In this case, it would be the OpenCl.dll

on windows you only need to install the prolific usb driver and then a clean unzip of the cgminer package, did you u do that?

I'm assuming you don't have AMD video cards.

install AMD SDK (not Intel's version), run cgminer with --disable-gpu option.

Alternatively, you can compile cgminer and disable opencl so that opencl.dll is not linked.
Will try installing AMD SDK, not sure if it will install without AMD video card.
I don't know how to compile cgminer myself.

yes I have the prolific usb driver and clean unzip of cgminer.
The machine is already running Icarus using ngzhang's codes, but i'd like to switch to cgminer.

It looks like prolific changed their website.  Does anyone know where I can find the prolific usb driver?
