Do you have the Cuda pack installed? You will likely need it if using a nVidia GPU.

A side note: you may not get a very good speed from nVidia hardware, especially when going for BTC. An ASIC device would be much more effective at this point.

I'm not sure with Cuda. Like the guy above me^, I do have GPU Caps Viewer and can send a few pictures of that if needed. Where do I find this out and where would I acquire it?

In response to the side note, I am for Christmas. I'm undecided on what I should get. Any ASIC going for around $500. Is the return of investment a decently short period of time given current prices. What do you recommend and what have you heard. I'm eager to learn all I can. And thank you for responding, glad to see this thread active!

Hey guys, I see there is only one other thread with this from the 10+ hours this problem. I don't know if no one sees the other thread. But yes, I am a newbie, very new. Here is my original post:

Hello, I can only find one place where this qestion is asked and no one is answering it. I've just started getting into bitcoin and I know I set up guiminer correctly but I keep experiencing:
Code:
2013-12-11 23:36:48: Listener for "BTC Miner 1" started
2013-12-11 23:36:48: Listener for "BTC Miner 1": Traceback (most recent call last):
2013-12-11 23:36:48: Listener for "BTC Miner 1": File "poclbm.py", line 104, in <module>
2013-12-11 23:36:48: Listener for "BTC Miner 1": NameError: name 'OpenCLMiner' is not defined

This is really frustrating because I have no clue what the heck to do since I am so new. I have the Nvidia EVGA GTX 550 ti 1gb graphics card on Windows 7 64-bit. I'm trying to use Slush's pool and have my worker and wallet all set up. I've seen videos of the miner working and I love the set up and the way it works, but I just need it to work. Any help would be very appreciated as I am very eager to get to money and will be sure to donate some of my profits to you for your help, thanks!

Update: after a night of sitting, the miner gives me this in the console:

Code:

2013-12-12 06:09:53: Listener for "BTC Miner 1" shutting down

When I stop the process I do get one stale answer, any ideas?

If any of you guys have some solutions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks to all who assist and have a good day!

I'm a new miner and I'm experiencing these exact same signs. My console reads as such:
