Ok I need some words of direction...
I have the GUIMiner..loaded up and running. Check....

I am running at 120 MHash/s it aint much but its a start and seems fun to earn 50 cent a day.

SO I got my bit coin wallet Check...

Got my wallet addy tied to my slush Pool account check....

But I don't see any activity on the slush page comforting the thing is mining and stacking in my account.The page says it refreshes the info every hour..its been about 20 something hours I see nothing.

Question ? How Do I know I am mining ? and when will the slush pool page reflect my actiivty ? Huh

You are trying to mine for gold with a toothpick. Mining with a graphics card will cost you $1000 in electricity and then earn you 1 cent over a month which the pool will refuse to ever pay you as well. You cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin with any computer hardware you buy at a normal computer store - you must buy dedicated ASIC bitcoin mining hardware, the slowest of the current meaningful hardware today is 3000 times faster than what you are using.

Yeah Yeah Yeah ...I already know this. Sometimes things in life are more about the fun of it.  I would prefer a answer to my question then a lecture based on your assumption that I am a greedy little man with a tiny fraction of the knowledge on the subject as your omnipotent self  Shocked

The pool won't even register a hashrate with that hardware.

Did you see any accepted share on guiminer? If none accepted, then you are not mining at all. Probably due to very low speed.
Could you please post the screenshot of your guiminer?
