GUIminer connecting

[mpi]

Hey,

when I use the guiminer to connect to slush's pool, it keeps saying "connecting.." and when I look at summary, it says "speed: connecting...". Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am using a cpu but don't haven openCL installed (which isn't needed I think because I have a cpu)

guiminer displays 'connecting...' when the hashrate is equal to 0. Normally this means your client has not received a unit of work from the pool yet or guiminer encountered a problem before it could start working.
