Having some issues with this miner. I was using awesome miner which uses the 10.x version and I was getting a ton of share errors. I adjusted the -h many different ways and nothing was working so I started researching. I ran across a couple threads on other sites saying to use t he 9.7 version because it doesn't do very well on the r9 270x models. So I downloaded it and noticed it required 15.12 drivers so I downloaded those removed all the old driver files and installed the new one. I started using the miner and used it a couple days then stopped because I was mining other things. I tried to go back to using this miner again today and now every time I open it crashes. Maybe someone here can point me in a direction how to get this miner working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure why the images or not showing I've used the img tags the forums provides if a moderator sees this please fix the images so they will load int he post. TY!

EDIT: I've wanted to mention also that I've tried sfc/scannow to check windows files making sure they are okay. I've also turned off my Microsoft Security Essentials making sure it wasn't causing the exception. Still no luck. The crazy thing is just a couple days ago this miner was running smooth as hell with no issues at all for several days. As far as I know I haven't changed anything on this desktop in several weeks. Same overclock and all that.

SOLVED: For some reason when you try to mine ETN with claymore 9.7 you can not use the config.txt or the epools.txt. You have to put all the flags in the same line inside the batch file. IF you do not it will crash the miner every single time! Makes absolutely no sense to me but I got it working now after 8 hours messing with this crap!!!
