Windows 7 64 bit, 2.3ghz Phenom x4, one Radeon HD 4870. GCMiner version 1.5.8. Offical thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0I suppose it's not particularly urgent since I can run other mining programs until I can get this to work, but for some reason CGminer just instantly crashes when I try to start it up. I made a shortcut, and added the commands, like so: C:\[file hierarchy]\cgminer.exe -o http://deepbit.net:8332 -u [deepbit workername] -p [deepbit pass] -o http://arsbitcoin.com:8344 -u [ars workername] -p [ars pass] -o http://uscentral.btcguild.com:8332 -u [btcguild workername] -p [btcguild pass] --load-balance However, it still crashes as soon as I finish putting in the information it asks for for any of those given pools upon starting the .exe directly. Running it as administrator dosen't make a diffrence. >:

If what Graet suggested doesn't work try running cgminer in command-prompt and see what error you get.

Yeah, I know what to put in the field because I use a diffrent miner right now and it works...
I'll try running it in command prompt.
Also, googling how to run stuff in command prompt. x3

Yeah... command prompt didn't help at all, it just shows the same "cgminer.exe has stopped working" popup, with the terminal turning that unresponsive grey.

turn off other miners first try to use cgminer with just one pool.. like ozcoin for example ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) they are a very lucky pool. but yeah try with just one pool and no other miner software running before you add all that and tell us if it crashes again

Did you run it through command prompt or in command prompt? Only one will show you what is going wrong.

I think he means, open up msdos (by typing "cmd" in the search bar by the start menu) and then CD mapname to go to the directory of cgminer.

he just means did you open a cmd prompt up first or just run a batch file
as you know if you just run a batch fle and it hs an error message the cmd prompt black box will disappear
where if you run the command prompt first, it doesnt and you can read said message
i figure you already are.. but in case you arent.. Hold shift, and right click on the cgminer dir. select open command prompt here
and then right click and paste your command above..
the holding of shift only adds the new menu item to your right click menu.. "open command prompt here"

Yeah, I was doing it right. No error message, just the "CGminer.exe has stopped working" popup and booting me back into the regular command prompt. Last thing it says before crashing is "Long-polling activated for http://deepbit.net:8332/listenChannel" Usually anyway. Occasionally it's gone to the main menu or whatever that it actually mines on ( CPU only runs... I tried it out just to see ) but always crashed right away whether it was able to output that first or not. Just a thought, is the 4XXX series even compatible with CGminer? When I look around the forums, all I see are people talking about using 5XXX or 6XXX series cards...

Edit: Just tried using "start" blahblahblah, didn't change anything, it just opened up a new window that crashed instead of running in the command prompt window.

Try adding the --verbose flag at the end of the command line and see what you get...
