1  Other / Beginners & Help / CGMiner vs BFGMiner on: August 20, 2013, 04:52:25 PM
Running Windows 7 64 Bit.

I have gotten all my block erupters to be recognized by CGMiner and running using zadig to change the driver to WinUSB.  However when I was running more than 2 in my USB Hub I get more HW errors than I do accepted blocks using the shortcut below.

C:\cgminer-3.3.4-windows\cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us1.eclipsemc.com:3333 -O XXXX:XXXX -o stratum+tcp://us2.eclipsemc.com:3333 -O XXXX:XXXX -g 1 -G

I was told that I should try BFGMiner instead.

I downloaded BFGMiner and installed it to the same location and it won't start.  It will only recognize my GPUs and none of the erupters and when I try to run it so the GPUs are not activated it just tells me

All devices disabled, cannot mine!

C:\bfgminer-3.1.4-win64\bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us1.eclipsemc.com:3333 -u XXXX -p XXXX -o stratum+tcp://us2.eclipsemc.com:3333 -u XXXX -p XXXX -g 1 -G -S all


if I remove the -G and run it I get this error

Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM1

I am an administer on the computer.  I have UAM set to the lowest I can.  This is all I get when I try from an elevated run as administer command prompt as well.

I have checked and I am the owner of the C:\bfgminer-3.1.4-win64 folder as well, so I don't know why I keep getting permissions issues.
