Ok so I am new to bitcoin and wanted to solo mine for bitcoins after days of searching and much trial and error I have finally figured it out so I thought I would share with everyone. Especially for the newbies that are having trouble trying to solo mine, this may not work for everyone but this is what worked for me.
What you need:
1. a bitcoin client
2. the guiminer
The process:
1. Download and install a bitcoin client and wait for it to download the entire block chain
2. Download and extract the guiminer software.
3. Run the guiminer software
4. setup your username and password in the solo utilities menu. (By your username and password I mean the same username and password you use to log into your computer)
5. In the same solo utilities menu set the bitcoin client path
6. again in the solo utilities menu click launch bitcoin client in server mode
7. set the server to solo
8. enter username and password
9. start mining
That's it.
