Hasn't worked for me, win 8.1 x64, 14.6rc2, I still have one of the cards showing code 43 (5 out of 6 working) what am I doing wrong?
What did you do exactly?
With default config(checkboxes) app won't anything - it will just create reg files for you to execute manually.
If  you check "Modify Registry" - then it will apply changes.

Also, do you run your rig headless, every time I unplug the monitor my teamviewer session shows a black screen, I can't see anything.

Edit: Manually merged the reg file and it seems to have worked this time, now I just need to work out the headless side of it.
I'm running headless with 6x290.
What GPUs are you using?
And was the issue present before the mod?

Thanks for replying to my questions.

I checked the box for Modify Registry and ran the app, restarted the machine and still had one of the cards showing a 43 error code.  I then checked the box for Modify Registry and Force, ran the app and also merged the reg file manually then restarted and all cards were working.  I should have restarted first without merging the reg file to test properly but it had been a long day so sorry for the poor testing there.

Headless, I was running windows 7 x64 with 6x Sapphire Tri-x 290's and mining Monero but kept getting lockups with any of Claymore's miners past 3.4 so I decided to give windows 8.1 a try.  I have four of these rigs but testing on two of them, if I remove the monitor and then teamviewer in, all I get is a black screen.  This issue was present before the mod and I have read a few people stating the exact same thing - http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1wdawz/headless_windows_81_290x/ - With windows 7 I was restricted to a 640x480 teamviewer window, but at least I could see the desktop and there was just enough space to use the machine, windows 8.1 I get nothing.  I have ordered a few of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C9UB9OK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - as the cards only have dvi-d, hdmi and display port and all of the dvi converters I have are dvi-i > vga.  Fingers crossed.
