I found that rpcminer-4way was the problem that resulted in only 1.1MHash/s. When using rpcminer-cpu.exe it runs with 1.8MHash/s.

But still i think something is wrong.

I have a Geforce 9600M GT which should be capable of Cuda. I tested with GPU Caps Viewer and it should be enabled. But i think its only my CPU that is working not my GPU.

When i run the normal bitcoin-client i can set the number of processors that should hash. I have a dualcore CPU. When I set the number of cpu-cores used to 1 then... I have around half the MHash/s. Taskmanager shows 3/4 of cpu used while it was 100% before.

When looking into this list to find my GPU: http://pastebin.com/AvymGnMJ there are no M-Version of it which is the portable Version of the GPU but the Desktopversion 9600 GT. And this version should make 15.66 MHash/s. So probably my GPU doesnt do anything.

Why is that? Or did I interprete something wrong?

Whatever Extra Flag im trying to set doesnt have an effect it seems.

While I have a NVidia I should use rpcminer-cuda.exe isnt it? But when I do this GUIMiner pretends to work but I think it doesnt work. Because when I run -cpu.exe I get 1.8 to 1.7MHash/s and the value is changing. But when I use the cuda.exe after that it looks like its working but only shows the last working MHash/s-Number. 1.8MHash/s. It doesnt change. When I ran 4way.exe before that... and 4way is slower with 1.1MHash/s and run cuda.exe afterwards it shows constantly 1.1MHash/s. Thats probably not correct. So it looks like its doing something but it doesnt. And CUDA doesnt work too I think.

Someone nows whats happening?

I am going to be blunt.  You don't have the hardware to earn via mining.  Your electricity costs will exceed any mining that you can do with that hardware [even if you managed to get the GPU to work].  Further, with a laptop in particular, you will be taxing the hardware, so even if your energy costs were free, I think it more likely that you would ruin your machine [or an expensive part of it] long before you see any payout.   Stop mining.  Do your research and learn how this works.  EVERYTHING you need to know about mining is here in these forums or link to information that will help you.  Difficulty will be going up in several hours (12 perhaps) reducing your ability to mine by more than 1/3 by the look of things. 

Brutal honesty is really best for you.  You can't effectively mine with that hardware.  I am sorry.

How can I completely uninstall Guiminer to reinstall? Every time I stop mining it crashes my computer. My Wifes computer which is an exact hardware copy of mine works fine. Mine worked until the other day then it will start and mine but won't pause. It locks up the time on the system. Complete freeze on pause or stop.
I have deleted appdata, roaming, bitcoin, I have deleted the GUIminer folder. I am missing some files somewhere. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit

just remove the directory and everything in it from where you installed it to.

In the Beginning there was CPU , then GPU , then FPGA then ASIC, what next I hear to ask ....

@Veldy

Im aware that I probably wont ever earn anthing but its an interesting topic. I do not really think that my hardware can effectively do mining. I would do better investing in bitcoins I think. What I will do when my Euros are online at MtGox. Smiley

But its still interesting and im asking myself why i shouldnt let the GPU run and trying to take part in the lottery while im at my pc. At the end its a lottery and when the hardware is running anyway? I never would let the pc run only for mining.

By the way... i downvolted my gpu and overclocked it with nibitor some time ago. This should, as far as I know, result in a longer lifetime. The damage at overclocking happens because of too high voltages that are erode the chipparts. I did the opposite. Changing the clockrates alone does have a so small effect on lifetime that it doesnt count. The temperature isnt too high too. So I guess my card wont be hurt only by letting it run a bit more when its running anyway... (I still would calculate how much more power it needs then... and how much the more of power would cost.)

So its more interest than the wish to earn money through mining... Smiley In my opinion mining isnt worth much anyway because it pays out only because the bitcoins are rising in worth. But when taking that in account miners would have done more when investing the hardwaremoney in bitcoins. So i think the goldrush is over long ago. Traders will probably make more now...

But i still would like to know why my gpu doesnt work. My cousin seems to have the same problem without knowing it. The original bitcoin-client doesnt inform that the gpu doesnt work. I dont know why. So can you tell me why the gpu isnt working?

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

Wink
guiminer and deepbit seem to be working fine for me now,
what sort of problems are you getting

When I am on page    http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3878.0

I click on [  guiminer-20110521.exe (self-extracting archive) ]
I get a 500 internal server error page.
if I try save link as, it saves as a html 500 error page, even if I try to save as all files.
Same thing on all the 4 computers i have here.

I thought the , https//githuib site was down. I get a 500 server error if I try to navigate to the github site.
Must be something else if you can get the site and the download.

I noticed while using stumble upon It brings up pages from github.com. Any idea why github always gives me a 500 error?
Same thing on 4 computers here. Maybe it has to do with https Huh

So I'm still working on this 500 error.
I called my provider thinking it must be a problem on my side , seeing that nobody else has the problem.
They think it may be a problem with the dns server.
The tech support had no problem connecting to the site.
The guy lent me his dns server , thinking a may be able to get on the site, to retrieve the GUI program.

I still have the 500 error, even with my dns server changed.

I am using xp 64 with firefox , opera , explorer, always the same 500 error.
My other machines have xp 32 same problems in any browser.

Any ideas? or can someone put up the .exe somewhere else?

Thanks

A note on uninstalling. Removing the directory isn't enough to uninstall guiminer.

Yes, GUIminer also creates directory C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\poclbm.

Well it is, but it leaves left over settings/configurations in place.  Many programs do this.  Uninstallers should prompt the user if they want to remove the configuration or just the program itself.  Having said that, this isn't commercial software it is
'donationware" ... donate if you like it [I did, and I don't even use it anymore ... although I may again at some point].

If someone could please help out here and show me what exactly I'm doing wrong.

First of all, I am using an ATI Radeon HD 5770, just now uninstalled and installed the latest driver as well as OpenCL.
Next, registered at btcguild.com, created a "worker" there.
Downloaded the latest version of the GUIminer.
Run guiminer.exe.

Now I am unable to chose the GPU instead of the CPU and have a terrible mhash/s ratio.
Do I have to change some settings in the Catalyst Control Center to get OpenCL to work and thus enable the GPU as an other choice?


Edit: Nevermind, finally got it working.

The issue was my Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable  was corrupt. I downloaded a new copy from here installed it and the problem was cured.
