So then it was failing to start. So I'm back to 13.1 and now it still won't start at all... I'm kinda stuck. Can't go back.

Sorry if this is one that's already been answered. If so, please say so but I did search and couldn't find any info.
I have been happily mining with CGminer on my AMD GPUs for a while now. This is not a fulltime miner and Bioshock prompted me to upgrade my drivers so I downloaded the 13.3 beta drivers. Unfortunately, now when cgminer starts doing its stuff, the DOS block just goes blank. It looks like it's running since I have a hashrate showing on my monitoring software but otherwise, I can't tell and it's tricky cause I like to leave a couple of GPUs mining while I game on the other.
Do I just need to roll back the drivers or is there another known fix?

I'd just rollback your drivers. Shouldn't need to user a newer one for Bioshock, regardless of what it says.

Not helping so far. I went to 13.1 then 12.2. Things seem to just be getting worse.

You're doomed to switch antivirus or use a smarter one that allows exceptions. It's detecting the interface dll that takes your keystrokes as a keylogger and disabling the interface. Alternatively you can always run in the boring text only interface with -T.
Thanks for the reply. I tried:
Code:
cgminer.exe -P -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u me -p 123 --auto-fan -T
Code:

So it does not appear to be the keystrokes to me. I though it was network, but I believe it sometimes connects to it when it starts up. It seems to be when it goes to get a new work unit or something like that (am I correct to assume that when it starts up it finishes previous units it got before?).
Any more suggestions?

I'm having problems with cgminer and AVG antivirus free 2013. Note that AVG antivirus free does not have a firewall.
The most annoying thing is it was working fine Thursday and suddenly stopped working. I can't think of anything I changed on that day, or before the last reboot.
I'm using the command:
1. If I start cgminer with AVG activated, most of the time cgminer will just display a blank screen (sometimes it runs for a bit and stops). If I then disable AVG, cgminer will start and run normally.
2. Different scenario. AVG is disabled, I start cgminer, it runs normally. If I enable AVG, cgminer runs for a bit and then freezes. Again, if I disable AVG, it continues.
Just for kicks I've disabled Windows firewall but it didn't do anything. I've tried disabling individual parts of AVG but nothing happens, I have to disable the whole thing.
The debug text before the freeze isn't particularly interesting, just something like
Any ideas what to try or am I doomed to switch antivirus?

Running RDP to the mining rig kills the GPU and crash's CGMiner and requires a reboot of the whole mess. That's been my experience anyway.
Same experience here. RDP is awful for mining. I've also found tightvnc works best for win 7.Yes. ADL works via tightvnc.
RDP causes CCC to crash and ADL calls fail for any aplications using them.

Here's an odd one I'm running into today after re-burning my USB stick's linux image from a clean copy, pulling in the latest git, compiling and firing up cgminer...
cgminer's interface ignores all normal menu keystrokes (p, g, and so on), UNLESS I neglect to specify a pool in the config file, in which case it works normally because it had to accept keyboard input to allow me to set the pool credentials. I can use ctl-c to kill it and get back to a prompt, no problem. I just can't adjust settings while cgminer is running.
This is latest git pull as of "Thu Apr 11 13:31:17 2013 +1000".
Found this bug at last and it should be fixed in git master now, thanks. cgminer's interface ignores all normal menu keystrokes (p, g, and so on), UNLESS I neglect to specify a pool in the config file, in which case it works normally because it had to accept keyboard input to allow me to set the pool credentials.

Just want to say I ended up rolling back to Xubuntu 12.04, using Catalyst 12.8, ADL SDK 5.0, CGMiner 2.11.4 (? Latest anyway), and APP SDK 2.7. Works perfect* and solved all the previous problems I was having. I recommend this combination to anyone who is struggling to get it working or looking for a linux miner.
Thanks for your help ckolivas.
* Ok one small thing, I'm using VNC now as a way to solve it, so it's not that big of a deal, but when I try and run headless and only ssh in it seems to disable all my GPU's. It doesn't seem like I can say Display=:0 as I don't have any displays in there.
Like I said, using VNC seems to fix it though.

am i suppose to run the cgminer.c in terminal? when i mark it as executable i get a bunch of errors in terminal.
How did you compile it?
I do not believe i did compile it.. just extracted the tar ball and tried to run it... i do not understand CURL and what it has to do with CGMINER.
Am i missing something?
okay i saw some other people run the autogen.sh file which i did following a make and makefile command.. that seemed to make an cgminer file to is now in that folder.
i am not trying to run the commands but i seems that CGminer is splitting the load between my two cards so running each one at half speed. When i run one GPU at a time with the -d command i can get my left video card to run full speed. But when i try to run them together the feedback states the mhash but when ending a session i see it was just split between the two cards.. When i try -d 0 and or -d 1 only my left card seems to want to work, and crossfire is not enabled.
This is on an Alienware M17xR2 Laptop with two 5800 Junipers, they should be running at about 185 mhash each
See pics in link. my output is:
Code:
./cgminer -o stratum.ozco.in:80 -u user -p pass -I 8 -d 0 -o stratum.ozco.in:80 -u user -p pass -I 8 -d 1 --gpu-engine 820,820 --gpu-memclock 1000,1000 --temp-target 80,80 --temp-overheat 90,90

additionally: cgminer "freezes" (cannot even quit it with Q, have to close the windows clicking on the X) once I switch users on windows 8 
Don't switch users. Or if you do stop CGMiner and then reopen it in the other user account.

I get Error -5 Enqueueing Kernel onto command queue. (clEnqueueNDRangeKernel) for GPU 1 and 2, leaving only GPU 0 hashing.
I got that error in bfgminer when i sat the intensity or the threads too high. One of it was it. The readme.scrypt has a good explaination how to setup the intensity max. I havent checked if the same max value applies for bitcoin mining.

I see,
i'll be getting a few 7950 shortly and will see how does that will work.
I was used to bitcoin mining with pocblm and that with -f 60 was giving perfect desktop interaction and as soon as there was no desktop acceleration it was taking full gpu power :/
maybe it's just scrypt that can't be tuned differently

any way we could help debugging the dynamic intensity on windows?
currently on windows 8 64bit with just an hd 5850 it basically stick to I = 7 all the time, is that expected?
Sounds good to me. Fast card shouldn't need to drop down much if ever. currently on windows 8 64bit with just an hd 5850 it basically stick to I = 7 all the time, is that expected?

No idea. You're treading into unknown territory.i'm getting only 245Khash with it
