Do we need to leave cli.exe in startup?

iLLestOne · Jun 28, 2006, 06:49 PM

Everytime my computer boots, the ATI tray icon comes up. Then I close it.

So I just wanted to make sure that I can take out "C:\program files\ATI Tech\ATI.ACE\cli.exe" runtime -Delay

out of my startup. I know you're not suppose to close the cli.exe from task manager, that's why I wasn't sure if I could take it out of startup.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Go to tweakguides.com and read their tweaking guide for the CCC. Very useful information on how to optimize the Catalyst drivers.

also i think if you're not using any crossfire/extra monitors/etc...... if you've set your fav 3d settings already, no need for it to startup after

Actually, i used to have the cli.exe disabled all the time. But then i started to use AA/AF settings forced through the CCC for Oblivion. I noticed that no AA/AF was applied if the CCC (CLi.exe) wasnt executed before running the game.

To disably the tray icon, there is an option for it in the CCC - disable it from there. If you want to disable the whole CLi.exe from starting with the computer, then you might have to start it just before playing a game where you´ve forced AA/AF settings.
