help setting up a miner

[Sharkiteuthis]

Ok so Im trying not to sound like such a noob but i'm having a problem and im not computer savvy.

I've got a computer running windows xp and im trying to setup some miners i've acquired.
i've got three of them connected to my computer's usb ports.  i've downloaded the drivers and they are recognized under the devices panel.

I downloaded GUIMiner and I don't know what to do next.  i run the program and get a message that no opencl devices are found.  Where do i set these up?  Keep in mind I literally have no idea what you'll be talking about.  Im just doing this for fun and as a challenge to get one bitcoin by 2015 (between mining/faucets/sales)

Cant really help u in the hardware setup part, but really appreciate your 1 bitcoin mission in 2015. If all newbies tries like u, price will definitely go up

What miners are they?  If you tell us the model it will help us guide you to help.

You can use cgminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0), or bfgminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=877081.0).
Probably need a powered USB 2 hub.
Don't expect huge 'profit' from 3 block erupters, however you may enjoy the experience.
At this time, 3 BE's are likely to consume more electricity than the earning of BTC, so it is mostly for your learning experience and fun.
Note that your projected earnings are
BTC per day=24/(D*2^32/(H*1000000000)/3600)*R
Where:
D= Difficulty (now 40300030327)
H= Hash rate (GH/sec) (about 1 GH/sec for 3 BE's)
R= Reward per block (25 BTC)

So your expected daily BTC earning is about 1.24793E-05.

So I set it up using bitminter. It says I'm earning some ridiculously low value where would actually be more beneficial for me just to use the bit coin faucet because I'll make probably the same in three hours that I would make in one month using the miners
I tried setting it up using multiminer. But I can't figure out how to enter the pool I belong to and register a worker

Sadly that is roughly what you would be getting, the difficulty is so high that the block erupters are not even profitable to run anymore.
