Hi I’ve been browsing these threads for a little before I posted but it is a lot to sift through. Having trouble with 14.7. Using AMD 19.4.3 all in compute mode.  Whenever I put -strap 1 in start bat I get “driver is in use, try -driver uninstall”.  I added driver uninstall but need to do it in administrator.  I start in administrator but ethminer start.bat opens for like a split second and then closes.  I’ve tried different drivers, added folder pathway to start.bat.  I’m at a loss right now.  If anyone knows PM me or post.  I will pay PayPal also to the person who helps me solve this

Hi!

You should run command prompt( Administrator) - its if you are in W10. Then navigate to folder there miner is. run EthDcrMiner64.exe -driver uninstall. Then reboot
Next - also run command promt  (Administrator) - navigate to miner folder and run start bat wih straps option. Thats it.

Next time you can run start.bat not with admin rights, cause drivers allready been installed.


Does it matter if my cards have already been bios modded?   Looking to override those with claymore

If you go to page 1344 you'll see my breakdown of what to do with the Cards.

My suggestion is the following:
1. Make a shortcut on your desktop to your start.bat file
2. Right click on that shortcut and go to properties
3. Select Advanced
4. Place a check mark in "run as administrator"
5. When you launch for the first time click on "select what to do when seeing this notification"
6. Move the slider down to the bottom.

By doing this:
1. You just have to double click it to launch your miner with no more warning or extra clicks moving forward.
2. You can right click on the shortcut and hit edit  to edit your batch file w/out having to navigate to it constantly.
3. You can right click on the shortcut and "open file location" and it'll bring you right to your mining software location.

This should help you navigate and make things a little easier to execute and edit your miner in Windows 10.
