Now you need to optimize cgminer setup for your card.
F.e. add to parameters
-w 128 or -w 64 or -w 256
-v or -v 1 or -v 1,1
-I 7 or -I 10
Find the best for your card and run ; )

Where do I add those parameters?  Embarrassed Man, I feel so dumb. This is all so new to me.



f.e. if you created that .cmd we were talking about before,
you can modify first line -

cgminer.exe --url http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u YOUR_USER -p YOUR_PASSWORD -w 128 -I 8 -v

Also are you mining Bitcoin or Litecoin?

Ah, thought so. Just checking.

I'm (trying to) mine litecoin.

It now just closes itself once I enter all my details. I'll look at the link and see if I can change any further details, but I think I'm a bit of a lost cause. I just can't seem to get this going.
You've been more than helpful.

Add
pause
to that .cmd
or
add
--text-only 2>c:\temp\cgminer.log

f.e.

cgminer.exe --url http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u lbr.my.worker -p dsdffggr --text-only 2>c:\cgminer.log

then it will log everything in c:\cgminer.log

Also, if it closes instantly - you have supplied invalid arguments

Thanks, I tried this quickly and it seems to work, but it runs off the CPU, even though I entered all the details correctly. It should be running it off the GPU. Any way I can change this?

It now just closes itself once I enter all my details. I'll look at the link and see if I can change any further details, but I think I'm a bit of a lost cause. I just can't seem to get this going.

Cheers, it doesn't close instantly now, but it's also rejecting a lot. Ill keep on fiddling with it and trying other pools.
MinerGUI seems incredibly easier to use, but I can't get the GPU to do the work instead of the CPU.

FYI, you have been incredibly helpful. I have a few scarce ltc's, they'll be coming to you.
