Okay found out I was not using the right kind of miner...even though my cards are Cuda based, I used OpenCL and that did the trick.

I'm just getting this under Cuda tab:- 2013-06-10 21:33:00: Running command: E:\download\software\Bit Coin\guiminer\miners\puddinpop\rpcminer-cuda.exe -user=****.worker1 -password=**** -url=http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332  Nothing happens and the start button doesn't have time to change to stop, running nVidia International driver 296.10 if that makes any difference?

If I try and run the regular CPU miner I get this:-

I just installed the Cuda pack from nVidia, whatever good that did.

Now I'm just getting this under Cuda tab:- 2013-06-10 21:33:00: Running command: E:\download\software\Bit Coin\guiminer\miners\puddinpop\rpcminer-cuda.exe -user=****.worker1 -password=**** -url=http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332  Nothing happens and the start button doesn't have time to change to stop, running nVidia International driver 296.10 if that makes any difference?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but Giki's advice got me a different response, so at least it appears to be trying to make contact now?

I have added GUIMiner to my firewall, the only thing I haven't done is the latest driver from nVidia, not sure why it's looking for a java app?

Hi from West Coast USA, new to bit coining and just started today, have no idea what I'm doing yet, not even sure if I trust an online wallet with what I have been reading lately.

Just started Bit Coining today with QT Bitcoin, same thing happened to me, I'm going to ignore it as the program is currently trying to sync.
