Title: Help please?
Post by: EasyRider on July 21, 2011, 01:12:41 AM
Hello I am new to the bitcoin mining community and I would greatly appreciate some help getting started. I have everything I need to get started however whenever I try to mine using gui miner my graphics card is not listed in the devices tab only my cpu. I have been working at it all day and installed multiple drivers to try to get it to work with no progress. I run windows 7 and have a G45/G43 express chipset. I have installed drivers from intel and amd to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated and once I get started I will be sure to reimburse you. Thank you and have a nice day.

Oh my god finally a reply button appeared.  My account is over a year old and I haven't used it since then and it seems posting is impossible anywhere!

mining on what you have will cost you money :( but warm you and your hardware up  :)
I mean, have a play, check it out etc but dont expect it to be profitable on that hardware :)

I've referred to that page multiple times. Can't find my device listed there and still don't know how to use my gpu in the first place. That's the problem. Thank you.

It sounds like you have an onboard video chipset, which is not worth it for mining.
