I am trying to set up a batch file for cgminer. My file looks like this

cgminer.exe -o http://mypool:8332 -u my.worker1 -p mypass --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 [/sup}

I have the script saved in my cgminer file folder.  when I click the bat file, the dos screen flashes for a scond but dose not stay open.  
If I remove the icarus information, cgminer starts but fails to detect any devices and then crashes.  I have looked for other examples and help, but can't get this working. Any help, please?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Switch to BFG is Simple and its ready for Erupter USB.

Here is the how...


install it.
Unzip it, create a batch file with the command I posted below and your good to go.


Download from HERE ONLY!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0


Create a Batch File (.bat) in your in windows.
Code:
bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u UserID_worker -p **** --disable-gpu -S all
This is setup for BitMinter so you need to change to your pool.
^^Make sure that the .bat file is in the same folder as BFG.

This will disable the GPU/Video Cards
Code:
--disable-gpu 


and this will detect all ASIC Erupters and to load all of them to run.
Code:
-S all

Also Make you install the driver for the erupter...

Thanks for your help. I got bfg installed and wrote the bat file. when I ran the file it gives the message that I don't have permission to open COM 3. I have the  drivers installed and can find the devise in the device manager and there are no settings for admin. any ideas?

Thanks

Yes, I have the CP210x_VCP driver and the device is plugged directly into the computer's USB port. Only one devise so I don't need a hub.
