the C++ runtimes fixed the startup problem, but now i have an odd problem where it gets stuck at 'connecting'

I know its not an internet problem because I can mine with the CPU (sempron 140) but when i switch to [0-0] Cypress, it gets stuck at connecting and doesnt do a single hash

I'm using Windows XP SP 3, With Guiminer v2011-06-14, 11-6 xp 32 bit catalyst drivers, and 2.4 amd APP SDK Windows 32-bit drivers.

tried poclbm and phoenix miner, same problem on both

I had the same error earlier. I fixed it by downloading and installing the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries. I used the package with the 2008 date on it and now my GUIMiner is humming along nicely.

and you installed the normal bitcoin client too? the official bitcoin "program", that is?

else it might not work properly (or so it did for me....)

no i was going to use this compuer as a dedicated miner cuz im not sure how safe it is security wise.. does guimer require the bitcoin client also?


No, you don't need the bitcoin client on the computer you are using to mine...

Have you tried redownloading? The file may be corrupt.
