Please read my thread --- you may have missed something
may have but nope other wise your using windows ?.
PI's are small little PC that work using Linux as there Operating system something like laptop but work better for this type of us as controllers over using a lap top or windows pc that might have to be on all the time and PI: us a lot less Electricity if you use them as controllers why i said i can't remember in windows unless you were stating to delete that registry key which could be bad with out uninstalling the drivers first in device manager ?. as far as i know Linux has no such registry system like windows. that was my bad for not expressing pi's use Linux over windows to run them, there is a windows version for PI that works kind of like the Linux version does .
Why the random workings and not-working? What is kicking it out? I don't know why i only use PC rigs to mine with if I use GPU they don't use USB drivers like ASIC miners do with windows and those miners work with Linux over windows better, no driver issue like you are having now and both driver can be installed at once in Linux and used to gather if needed I would rather use windows PC's FOR every day use and use PI type PC to run ASIC miner with PI's which is what Zeus miner are considered to be .. . hope that helps some. other wise i did miss something.
