Catalyst Control Centre: Command Line Interface Fills my task manager

Hi....

Recently my computer has been working very slow, so I checked my processes and it is absolutely filled with 'CLI.exe' with the description 'Catalyst Control Centre: Command Line Interface'.

There, at times, has been 350 of them, all with 0-4 CPU, which accumulates to 100% CPU Usage.

Here is a picture, and at times it is much worse than this -

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

CLI appears to be part of ATI catylyst control center which is an integral part of your graphics card and probably should not be removed at this time although it is obviously giving you problems.

My suggestion is to attempt to update your ATI driver

Do you have gigabyte ATI radeaon graphics card?
My suggestion is to attempt to update your ATI driver or perhaps roll back to an earlir driver version.
You can try updating drivers here

Q10: Why does the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center require 3 “CLI.exe” files as well a “Preview.exe” file?

A10: The ATI Catalyst™ Control Center has been separated into different components (a unique instance of CLI.exe per component) because it allows us to tune the characteristics of the process instance to the type of component. One component is called the “Runtime”, which acts as a server to all of the other client components. The two other client components are the “User-Interface” and the “System Tray”. The client “CLI.exe”s are tuned differently to enhance performance; the “User-Interface” client is optimized to run for short periods of time, whereas the “System Tray” client is designed to run for long periods of time. The “preview.exe” file (used for the 3D preview) is a based on the Win32 process (whereas the rest of the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center is based on the .NET framework), and is strictly an OpenGL application. Note that the preview “preview.exe” process is used only when the “User-Interface” is operating, and is ended as soon as the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center is closed.

@dadpad,

Hey.... Thanks for the reply.
I checked out those websites you posted, the second one in particular. Near the top right it asks you to enter a few things like Graphics Card Type etc, but my graphics card wasn't on the list so I could not proceed. I don't know if that was because mine is so old or anything, but I couldn't update my drivers because of it.
