Have you tried starting BFGMiner with the option "--scan-serial erupter:all" yet?

Yes, try that, and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. |

Error rate as in Hardware Errors or Rejects? What pool are you mining on? |

Ok, I think I know what might be the problem. Right when I open bfgminer I get following message:
Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3
And then it goes on and start mining. One miner seems to perform normaly when the other one has abou 95 to 100 % HW.

Try running your miner as an administrator. Or install the COM drivers and configure them properly. |

Try running your miner as an administrator. Or install the COM drivers and configure them properly. Tried running as admin, same error. Also I have downloaded that driver, computer now detects them under devices on control panel |

Run cgminer with a command prompt, and see what the error is. Then we can help. |

Alternatively, install the drivers on another PC if you have access and try mining on that as host. If that works you can rule out the miners and chalk it up to a driver or port issue.

Okay. Where is your cgminer? Open that folder. Example:  As you might see, the path is "C:\Users\byt411\Desktop\Bitcoin Mining\cgminer-3.7.2-windows - Scrypt". Simply cd to "C:\Users\byt411\Desktop\Bitcoin Mining\cgminer-3.7.2-windows - Scrypt" and type in cgminer.exe. |

Ok thank you, so I wrote cd C:\Miner\bfg and I get \Miner\bfg is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Weird. OK, make a .bat to open the cgminer, and add "pause" on a new line at the end of it. |
