Title: Block Erupter USB and Windows XP
Post by: wildboy211 on August 10, 2013, 02:13:25 AM
I just got my Block Erupter today and im trying to get it to work with CGMiner and Windows XP - everytime i try to start CGMiner, after i enter the pool username and password - it flashes and then goes back to the prompt. I went to the CGMiner IRC site and they said it was Windows XP - has anyone used the Block Erupters with Windows XP, and if so, how?

It must've been BitClockers, after i tried connecting to Deepbit, everything seemed to work...

run it in nogpu mode: cgminer-nogpu.exe

regular cgminer.exe would require to have OpenCl drivers installed
