Topic: Newbie needing help with Guiminer. (Read 682 times)

I finally got it to work. I did a wipe on the hard drive and complete reinstall. I think it had to do with the catalyst and app sdk file. Thanks again for the help.

I haven't any other idea to how to fix this (I'm not an great windows user) sorry.

still not working bros

I think you have 2 solution:
                                        You modify the code by hand to set the correct path.
                                        Or you set the APPDATA environment variable correctly  (maybe this link will help you : http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm)

ok i can say that some time ago when i typed %appdata% in the explorer tab it disapeared the only way i could find it was mannualy

64 bit

Which version of Windows are you using?

open a folder, and in the top of the explorer window (where you can see the path directory) type %APPDATA%. It should open a directory. This is for test if APPDATA is set or not.

i m using windows

and i also tried to execute as admin but didnt work

gonsas2000: Are you on linux ? APPDATA is an environment variable in windows who contain path to the directory where applications can stock datas.

Just use the latest cgminer.  I guess you could try running guiminer as administrator.

If someone could help me that would be great .

Anyone have a link to drivers for msi r69590 cards that work? I tried Radeon site and it keeps defaulting to 13.152.1.8000 driver. Also if anyone is running this card is there a certian sdk i need?   Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help.



I tried this ...didnt help.






My driver version is 13.152.1.8000, I will try the 12.1 or 12.8 and see if that helps.
My APP SDK is 2.9


Will look for diff versions and try them.

do you have the right catylist drivers and sdk installed? not all amd drivers work.

drivers
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows%207%20-%2064&rev=12.8     64bit
http[Suspicious link removed]                                                        32bit

SDK
http[Suspicious link removed]                       64bit
http[Suspicious link removed]                         32bit    



edit  they blocked the links anyways search for how to mine litecoins and follow the instructions.
best of luck.

After looking again it appears you need catylist 12.8 or 12.10 been awhile since i had to install them

Try these settings. -I 15 -g 1 -w 256 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 6144

Anyone got any idea?

First off I would like to say hello to all on this board. I recently started into the mining hobby and am experiencing issues already .
Recently I purchased a used MSI R6950 card to replace a nvidea card that was in my machine. I was experimenting mining with the nvidea card and was all set up and mining useing Guiminer. Hash rates were low and I expected that but wanted to try and see if I could do it. I installed the MSI card yesterday and updated the drivers and Amd APP SDK v2.9 along with amd catalyst. I could not get the card to work, although it would mine it would not show on coinotron even after 2 hours of running. I did a complete re-install of windows and took all updates for it, also downloaded catalyst, newest ADM drivers and GUIminer. This is what I get and it will never find a block to mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated as to what I am doing wrong. It seemed the Nvidea card worked on LTC and FTC with coinotron but this card wont hook up to my miner. Thanks in advance.
