ATI Catalyst 5.8 trouble

[magicrichard]

Hey guys,

Just bought myself a 9800PRO

Sadly upon installing the latest package from ATI everytime my computer starts up i get the following error message:

CLI.exe - applicaton error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

This is really frustrating me, i tried removing all the drivers and starting again, but the same thing occurs - any help is much apprecicated.

I get the same. On XP 64 and Pro. I also have a 9800pro.
I uninstalled it, was annoying me too much.

Sorry if this is not the answer...

...but are you sure that you have the latest version of .NET installed ?

Try clearing out the ATI drivers altogether (DriverCleaner etc) - make sure you have the latest version fo .NET installed - then install 5.8

Let me know if that does not work

[eljefehall]

Have you both installed .NET framework first?

What echo mate ?

[eljefehall]

I know, same answer, same time.

Cheers, at work at the moment, but will try when i get home.

I'll use the driver cleaner as well - even though I havn't had ATI card in there before, and i cleaned all the Nvidia stuff.

Is this the correct link for the .Net framework?

Thanks guys,

Yes that's the correct one and then this in the link for the update or you can just use Windows update from the start menu.

Yeah it works. I used to have the same problems. Then I went to the ati website and it says you need the latest Microsoft.NET files. There on the website and it fixed everything.

Yep, I had the same prob after RMAing a 9600 with dodgy memory after a long fight with the supplier I got a 9800pro instead. Fitted it in and no go. Was about to give up on the whole thing when I read about the .net prob on a forum somewhere and sorted it out nicely

[vincent]

the CCC (or Catalyst Control centre) version of drivers require Microsoft.NET version 1.1. & above-it says that on the ati site

if you got the drivers on a disc,then Ati should have supplied Microsoft.NET v1.1 with it

i got that, i thought i had .net installed lol, so i did opega drivers, then i updated to normal 5.8 and all was well
