Check carefully if you have setup the pools properly as there must a difference with your AMD rig.
Otherwise let show us what your command line is or config.txt/epools.txt

I'm only using 1 card per rig, and only mining the 1 pool with each rig. This rigs are gaming PC's that I mine with when they are not in use. So for the AMD rigs, I didn't touch the epools.txt or config.txt files. There was no need. Just enter pool 1 and 2, along with the wallet, in the bat file and the AMD machines were off and running, and have been for a couple years now.

When I tried the same miner, with the same bat file configuration, on the 1660, the miner spits out this error.

This is less helpful information than you think. You are getting an error saying that your pools aren't listed properly in the config file. In order to help, we'll need to see what you're trying to do. It is quite possible that a typo could be what's holding you back. Without being able to see and confirm, I don't think anyone can give you helpful information besides telling you to update your drivers and your OS, then try restarting and see if that works... So if you want actual help, you need to provide the necessary information. In this case, that's the command line that's giving you an error.

Hi, here's the config.txt. As I stated before, I've done nothing with it, as the AMD cards didn't require me to.

#
# PhoenixMiner configuration file
#
# If there are no command-line parameters when PhoenixMiner is started, it will search
# for config.txt file in the current directory and will read all command-line options from it
#
# You can put one or more command-line parameters on each line (separate them with spaces)
# If the line starts with '#' it will be ignored as comment
#
# NOTE. PhoenixMiner also "understands" the config.txt files of Claymore's dual Ethereum miner
# (but some of its options are not supported and will be ignored)
#

#-pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:4444
#-wal YourEthWalletAddress.WorkerName
#-proto 3
#-cdm 2

# Uncomment this to force the miner to read the dual-mining pools from the dpools.txt file
# instead of the command-line
#-dcoin blake2s

Here are the epools.txt file. Again, I've done nothing with it, it's how it is when you download the miner. So it has not been renamed or altered yet.

#
# PhoenixMiner ethash pools list (you MUST rename this files to epools.txt in order to use it)
#
# The pools specified in this file will be added to the pools specified with the PhoenixMiner's
# command-line options (see -pool and -pool2 command line options).
#
# Alternatively, you can omit the -pool option on the command-line and use only the pools in
# epools.txt file. This will give you the ability to specify more than two pools, and to change
# the pools without restarting the miner by using the 'r' key in the PhoenixMiner console to
# reload the epools.txt file.
#
# You must put one pool per line as specified in the examples below
# If the line starts with '#' it will be ignored as comment
#
# NOTE: PhoenixMiner also "understands" the epools.txt files from Claymore's dual Ethereum miner
#
# IMPORTANT: Replace the ETH address with your own ETH wallet address in the WAL: option (Rig001 is the name of the rig)
#

POOL: eu1.ethermine.org:4444, WAL: 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001
POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WAL: 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001

# These are examples for ETC pools

POOL: ssl://eu1-etc.ethermine.org:5555, WAL: 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001, COIN: etc
POOL: etc-eu1.nanopool.org:19999, WAL: 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001, COIN: etc

# The following line shows all possible epools.txt options. The values for each option must follow the
# same rules as these specified in the Readme.txt file for the -pool, -wal, -pass, -worker,
# -proto, -coin, and -stales command-line options.
#
# NOTE: The WEAKSSL epools.txt option is slightly different from the -weakssl command-line option. As shown
# bellow, WEAKSSL needs a numeric value of 1 to skip the strict SSL certificate validation.

# POOL: europe.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20585, WAL: YourLoginName, WORKER: WorkerName, PASS: x, PROTO: 1, COIN: ubq, STALES: 1, WEAKSSL: 1

I am getting a feeling you are deliberately avoiding what we were asking, how YOU start PhoenixMiner from a command prompt or what is in the batch file you use.

From a Windows command prompt you would normally start as follows, this will avoid using the config.txt and epools.txt files:

/path/to/PhoenixMiner.exe -nvidia -coin eth -pool ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555 -pool2 ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555 -wal YourEthWalletAddress.WorkerName -proto 3

if that works with the with the obvious changes for you, it can be put in a batchfile.
