cg miner says the device (icarus) is failing to initialise USB init, open device failed -err -12... you need to install a winusb driver for AMU device 1:4 and associate AMU device with WinUSB using zandig constant error appearing on the cgminer window. can anyone help?

cgminer shows the device (icarus) is failing to initialize USB init, open device failed -err -12... you need to install a winusb driver for AMU device 1:4 and associate AMU device with WinUSB using zandig. I keep getting constant error messages on the cgminer window thingy. Can anyone help? I hope the above helps you out, bud.

Check if you supply enough power for the miners. Run miner as administrator - that could help.

They hacked the Icarus driver to work with their hardware. The Icarus is actually an old FPGA miner. What do you mean by Icarus Erupter?
Try using the current version of BFGminer or CGminer. Both should support the R-Box and your other hardware. Good luck. Personally I'd suggest getting a Raspberry Pi to run your R-boxes. Much lower power consumption than a computer. Distributions like Minepeon make setup rather easy.

I don't have a monitor connected so I just check the pool info.
