ATI driver fun
If you recently installed ATI’s Catalyst driver and are now presented with the following error message:
CLI.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.
How do you get rid of it? Well, the answer is simple…install the .NET framework from Microsoft. It would have been nice if ATI had mentioned the necessity for having .NET rather than just failing. The error message is totally useless, luckily the solution is very simple.

Dude, you are brilliant!!! i googled this error and tried many other fixes. One guy actually said it was because the chip set didnt get installed first. he recommended rebuilding the hard drive and starting from scratch. hhhhhmmmm, installing Net Framework was much easier. thanks for the great advise!!
