gahhh; error configuring block erupter USB for win 7

[Altoidnerd]

Cannot get cgminer to work with block erupter in win7...

this "1.bat" string DOES apparently work (cgminer command window launches and displays has rate and stuff) to utilize my old nvidia NVS4200 GPU worker @ slush's pool...<10 MH/s...

WORKING:  cgminer.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Altoidnerd.worker1 -p XXXXXXX -I 8

This "3.bat" fails to bring up my Altoidnerd.worker3 @ slush's pool, which I have attempted to associate with a block erupter USB stick

DOESN'T WORK: cgminer.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Altoidnerd.worker3 -p RSRKwCU7 --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3

;-( :-( :-(  Just got my erupter and wanna erupt some blocks sooooo baddd...please help

For starters, blank out your password.

Next, install the comm driver from here:http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

Download BFGMiner, unzip, add -S all to the end of command.

let me know if you need more help.

Thank you, I subsequently got it going with bfg miner but am having a problem there that I cannot stop bfg miner from attempting to use my laptops G-card for 11 MH/s which is not worth it generally, so I'd like to shut that off.  But at least I am no longer in tears.

the string i am using for bfg miner that I thought would recognize com3 but is instead just mining with all available devices (e.g. this .bat file is working but not selecting only the block erupter as I would like it to):

bfgminer.exe -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u Altoidnerd.worker3 -p XXXXXXX --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3

-G to disable GPU mining

Awesome. Edit: meaning, that worked.  Sweet. Thank you.

Not a completely competent programmer...what language are these .bat files using?
