CGminer doesn't work, never seen this before

[MartinMiner]

Hello all,

I cant seem to start up my CGminer. When I open batch file, the cmd window opens but rapidly prints out what I wrote in my .txt file and that's all it does. It just keeps on repeating it, over and over, really fast (to the point you can barely read it). I've tried all kinds of things, including downloading different versions of the miner, editing the text .txt file, changing pools, changing ports, etc.

Just for reference, here is what I wrote in the .txt file (and this is what the .bat file prints over and over again):

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fast-pool.com:3333 -u [worker name] -p [worker password]

Suggestions?

Thanks

Open a cmd window and type

cgminer -T --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fast-pool.com:3333  -u ... -p ...

Just want to verify a few things. 

1)  Did you set up your Worker in the pool.
2)  When you set up the worker you should have a name that looks like  user.name  Make sure you have the period and both parts in there.
3)  yep, run from CMD prompt til you get things figured out.
4)  Make sure you run the .bat file in the same directory that your cgminer is saved
5)  Make sure you have an older version of cgminer.  The newer versions no longer hash scrypt.  I use 3.1.1 myself but I think anything before 3.7 will work.
6)  Just wondering, did you make your batch file directly from the .txt file?  not sure why you have a .txt file in the setup.
