Having serious issues getting Phoenix to run in Windows 7. The screen pops up, then immediately disappears.
I am sure I could spend hours researching this on the forums, but I would rather just pay someone to give me a quick tutorial.
First person to give me the correct procedure to successfully launch Phoenix on my system gets the bounty. THANKS!
EDIT: will also reward the bounty to anyone who can help me get Diablo running instead. Either or.
Bounty has been awarded!

You need to run cmd.exe then run the file from location within dos

The other option is to press Control+r and select the miner path, using the correct syntax on your username/password and server. Dont forget to add the server port address or it will not connect.
Phoenix and almost all miners are DOS based so if you run it by clicking on it the options will quickly display and disappear as you experienced.

I must be doing it wrong.....what is the proper command line? Once I am in the directory where the executable is stored.

Purely out of simplicity you should probably try GUI miner and you can run the phoenix miner. I found the phatk kernel option to be the most efficient.
For a standalone miner I use the following flags: -k phatk poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 worksize=128 FASTLOOP=false
For mining in the background and still being able to watch movies and such I lower the aggression to 5.
FYI I am mining with a 6950.

I use GUI miner for everything.....but I just got the 7970's in the mail, and they wont run with GUIminer.....

Personally I did not find any additional hashing power by running in DOS vs Guiminer. I do some CPU mining on the side with my 6 core and my command from the run screen is: c:\bitcoin-miner.exe -u user -p pass -o http://pool.ABCPool.co:8332 -g no -t 5 Please note this is Ufasoft miner i believe and not phoenix but it is the same idea.

I dont think you use the BFI_INT vectors for the 7xxx series there is a different vector protocol to use. If you are trying to run the latest phoneix miner it wont run under my Win7 64 bit either and it gives me code errors. I have to use the older one which is fine by me since i get a lot anyways.

No need to mess with cmd.exe. 1. Create a txt file in your phoenix root folder (where phoenix.exe is located) 2. add your login, pass, server. etc there: example for deepbit - 3. rename file extension to cmd. 4. Run your cmd file. 5. PROFIT! P.S. phatk2 working fastest for radeons, at least for mine 5770 does.

Device=0 is good if he has 1 card for 1 miner. the BFI_INT I read are not good for 7xxx the usage should be phoenix -k phatk -u http://user:pass@server.com:8332 worksize=128 aggression=13 You would also add whatever vectors work best on 7xxx series

I prefer to run my DOS miner from the control+r line with all the parameters because it will save all the parameters for next time you want to run it and you will not be setting the directory every time.
I am not sure how this bounty will work now that others got involved but I was first so I think that has to count for something.

Any ideas on how the boys currently running the 7000 series are pulling it off? You might need Phoenix 1.7.3 by the looks of it. When you tried GUIminer did it not show up as a device or did it just not mine? If it didnt mine you can select the miner manually as a custom miner.
