[thatguy42]

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

Definitely looks like a bug.. or a miracle.

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.

[Dobrodav]

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].

Same problem here.

Too little to read; what does it say?

[gres]

thanks, got this started no problems, what a difference between gpu and cpu from the built in one

[HorstDetlef]

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.

@kiv
just send you a PM with a link to download a french translation for your GUI.
(because i 'm so bad with github and i can't push my file  )

If someone else want to test it, it's available here:

guiminer_fr.po

Anyone?

Hard to say, could be a driver issue. What version of Windows are you using and what graphics card and drivers?

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

I have an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX on a laptop and my question is where to find the proper drivers openCL for nvidia. From the nvidia site i tried installing the developer drivers but it does not recognize my card. http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-40

[PwrLeveld]

You have to use cuda mining with NVidia, and it won't be worth it because nvidia cards don't mine at a rate that makes up for the enrgy consumption, and besides on a laptop.

ah, i see, well thank you for the advice. Im curious though, how does one learn which cards are good for mining and what rate they mine and their energy cost?

and also, if i were to use my nvidia card for cuda mining anyway, where would i acquire the necessary software?

[DrKennethNoisewater]

Just wanted to say hats off to Kiv, this really does make it easier.

I was running and older rig prob 2.5 years old or more with dual nvidia 9800 GT's and could only get 25 mhash/sec per card.

I just installed a Diamond ATI HD 6950 and after some driver wiping and installing was able to get the thing online and operating at a healthy 300Mhash/sec.

Man, these new gen cards are freaking huge.................

Now that I know I can get the hashrate, time to take it up a notch and go for a 1.5 rig........

Peace out
