New miner

[SoNic67]

First of all hello to everyone - this is my first post here!

Second: What brought me here is the fact that I have installed the Ufasoft Coin client (ver 0.76.0.0) and I right-clicked the Bitcoin to 'mine'. But nothing happened. The 'State' is 958 days ago, Mining 0.0 MHash/s and 'Peers' is 8.
CPU utilization for 'Coin.exe' sits at 0%.  GPU-Z shows GPU load at 0-1%.
Is there anything else that I need to do to make it work?
My rig has a NVidia GT450 GPU.

Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
You need to join a pool to mine bitcoins. Solo mining is not possible now.

P.S - Don't expect any profits in mining from your rig, you can mine for fun

Its probably not a "slim client" so you have to download the blockchain first

I don't expect miracles, maybe just for fun... MY PC is on all the time anyway.

I did install Bitcoin QT (v 0.8.6 beta) previously and it created the wallet. Then it crashed
Now is still 'synchronizing with network' - 51 weeks behind...
