Title: Windows XP Post by: awatson824 on August 25, 2012, 06:17:18 AM I got an old computer for mining, but when I run poclbm I get a cmd window that pops up and then closes after 1 second without showing any text.
I'm using the Windows XP home edition verson 2002, is it too old? I saw someone say they can run the miner on a windows 98. Anyways anyone know if I can run it on this? Title: Re: Windows XP Post by: drakahn on August 25, 2012, 07:01:21 AM It is a command line program, you need to start it with some arguments
look for guiminer, its a fairly user friendly front end Title: Re: Windows XP Post by: awatson824 on August 25, 2012, 07:58:06 AM What is BAMT? Sorry I am fairly new to all of this. And I use guiminer.

And I use guiminer. then why are you running poclbm?do you mean when you press start in guiminer a cmd window pops up? Make sure you are using the latest version of guiminer (the old one has a problem with poclbm) also try using pheonix miners instead Title: Re: Windows XP Post by: awatson824 on August 25, 2012, 09:14:59 AM K i'll see if that works.
Got it, I feel stupid. Was using poclbm cause I thought that was the guiminer.. Sorry. |
