No, I have a config file. I'm right clicking the file and selecting "run as administrator".
Same config file I run on my other machines except I edited a new miner name:
-pool ssl://us2.ethermine.org:5555
-wal xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.Eve
-proto 3
-prate 0.16
-astats 1
-straps 2
-hstats 2
-retrydelay 300
-nvmem 2
If you have downloaded the phoenixminer zip from the link of the first post in this thread, add the phoenixminer folder to the whitelist of your antivirus.
right click on phoenixminer.exe, go to properties, compatibility tab, mark the checkbox to run it as administrator.
Try updating your windows, I'm running it just fine on 2h20 update.
Since I use AMD I don't know which driver version you should be using as I see you using the -nvmem command you're probably on nvidia.
