It looks like driver restart.
For example if you have GPU with default values and it is 100% stable (mining 24/7 with no errors) - that is good
Even better will be if you overclock GPU by 20% which might get you 50-100 Mhash/s (on some cards), but that would make your card less stable (for example GUI Miner stops every 12 hours). All you need to do is manually click stop/start and miner will continue. And you are mining again 50-100 Mhash/s more then on default.
BUT if you are AFK for a long time and error appears you will not mine at all. That's why I think that it will be very useful for everyone to implement options I mentioned before (no one is mining without errors, miner will stop eventually and someone have to do 2 clicks).
All I'm asking to make miner to stop/start automatically after error like mine or to make option stop/start every x minutes (reseting mining will take less than 5sec).

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...
I download the latest version of the self-extractive archive, uncompress it to c:\guiminer and run guiminer.exe and get the following error:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
I read the README and glanced at the first post... What am I doing wrong?

BTW, the error is because I didn't have Python 3.2 installed on the PC's..... Just FYI Another question... is there a way to execute without getting the OpenCL warning box everytime?

That's rather strange - you don't need Python installed to run the miner because the interpreter is already bundled with the exe (using the py2exe module). There's currently no way to suppress the warning, but that's something I could easily add in the next release. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

Solution is simple
Windows Task Scheduler
every hour taskkill /IM guiminer.exe /F
then In Task Scheduler make task not simple task to start guiminer
guiminer.exe
start in : directory of guiminer

Hey, haven't read through all 23 pages, but is there a known issue with being stuck as perpetually "connecting..."? just doing CPU mining (sadly no OpenCL GPU here...) and it's just perpetually stuck "Connecting...".

Hmm... are you trying to mine solo or in a pool? If solo, your Bitcoin client might not be configured properly. If a pool, you might have the wrong username or password. Also, try opening the Console tab and then starting the miner to see if any interesting messages appear.

The password is right, (compared it in the console), and it was working fine on another computer I configured it on (different network, so maybe that's the problem...). Does the program require any connectback functionality? I can telnet out to port 8882, but if it's trying to connect to me on any port, that's going to be a problem.

Hey subin, I'm a noob here but thought I'd try to help. I see that you have norton. Can you see if norton is blocking it? either add an exception or disable autoprotect for a minute and try opening it. They implemented a new feature at the end of april that uses a reputation based system and automatically blocks programs with low reputation.
Could somebody help a noob out? I just started running this. I have a 2gb 4870 and just rebooted because of temps. They were around 125c or more before the reboot happened. Is there a flag to use to limit percentage of gpu being used? Thanks.

Nice miner Kiv <3 (I'll send you some BTC as soon as i get some more hashing power next week)
I only have a small request - can you please add time-stamps to the console. That would be awesome, thanks.
airdata@ I think you can try to play a little with the -f flag to limit the GPU load. I saw in another thread, somebody using -f 1000 to get it down to ~70% load. But that was with another miner, so it might not work equally with GUIminer. Just know that the -f is inverse process priority (higher number = lower priority).

best solution is to negotiate with symatec directly. mail them sample of gui miner with explanation and source code and request and ask to add it into false-positive whitelist. after they finish code audit[IDAPro i heard ], they very likely fix/do that

On 2 separate Windows XP Pro systems, I was getting the error, added python 3.2 and it started working right away, nothing else installed. And yes, the ability to launch the application, minimized and without warning would be great. That's rather strange - you don't need Python installed to run the miner because the interpreter is already bundled with the exe (using the py2exe module). There's currently no way to suppress the warning, but that's something I could easily add in the next release. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

Hello guys! I am new and I need your help.. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4550. When I start the guiMinet, the cpu works well but the card (device name in the guiminer's list: [1[Cedar) is stuck at "Starting" and "Amd accelerated parallel processing". Do you have any Idea of what's happening?? Edit: I use slush's pool. Edit 2: solved by adding --platform 0

Update:
So I found out I have an OpenCL video card and didn't know it, but the GUI is reporting that I don't. Also, I tried running poclbm.exe directly, and got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "poclbm.py", line 3, in <module> File "pyopencl\__init__.pyo", line 3, in <module> File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 12, in <module> File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 10, in __load ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
Just updated to the latest version of python, still no dice.

no NAT/firewall/router on you PC/outside it[including you ISP] ? ie can you check from internet thats this port REALLY open ? Update:

did you sure thats OpenCL REALLY installed ? check you "Catalyst install manager" uninstallation options in "Custom" mode without actually uninstall anything[something with "OpenCL" or "SDK" in list ?]

Got it solved, thanks. =)
Just required a driver update.
EDIT:
So, I'm getting roughly 6 MHash/s on my Quadro FX 770M. Is this normal? ( couldn't find it in the comparison thread... )
