yes 32bit

i'm on XP Pro and it's happening to me too. it just hangs on the splash screen. i uninstalled and reinstalled 3DMark and i tried with both the beta driver and the new 7.11 driver. i haven't been able to run 3DMark since i got my new cards. i have no idea why.

i'm dllin this now to test the new clocks on my cards, i'm using vista 64bit U so it looks like i'm going to have a few problems....

I got it to work. There is a hot fix for it at futuremark.com

I had that problem before the hotfix came out, when I was on vista32. one of the polling dll's was hanging.. I simply renamed Direcpll.dll and it fixed the hang.

but it looks like they hotfixed it since, like said above.

There's a new unified hotfix available for all the latest benchmarks: 3DMark03, 3DMark05, 3DMark06 and PCMark05. The hotfix updates the following:

* Updated GPU core/memory clock detection library for enhanced compatibility and support for new hardware
* New files are:
o Direcpll.dll (4.10.1.93)

This hotfix does not affect any of the benchmark results. A new full install for 3DMark06 Build 1.1.0 (with the hotfix included) will soon be available. Meanwhile, you should download this hotfix and install it now.
