I've fiddled and faddled with this and searched until I was blue in the face. It seems the only solutions are on linux based rigs/setups. I'd have better luck installing a tampon in a llama than figuring out linux.
I've got 11 miners. 9 in an Anker 10port hub and 2 just plugged into the back of the PC. All this ran fine on 3.1.1. I just got tired of reconfiguring the com ports in CGMiner every time my computer failed or lost power or I had to reboot. So I updated to newer versions of CGMiner that would auto grab the block erupter miners.
Running Windows 8 64bit

Any ideas? I also just noticed that the hardware error seems high.
Thank you for any direction!
