How do I stop receiving a high stale/ invalid hashrate

[sws316]

When I mine for older coins such as litecoin, I normally have no problem using a GUI. However, when I mine for a newly released scrypt coin using GUI, I keep getting very.... very high stale/invalid has rates, non are accepted. For example, I have a 1200 stale hash rate with 0 accepted. How do I fix this?

I tried to use CG Miner 4.4.0 but it pretty much just opens up and does nothing using this setting for example.
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.hashhot.com:3346 -u steven316.1 -p x

If I add anything or take anything away from the command, it simply will not open. Any suggestions?

are you sure the coin you are mining is scrypt?

You should try a different pool. Normally if it is the same algo the stale should be almost the same..

The guys above me have no idea what they are talking about.

The latest version of cgminer that supported scrypt was 3.7.2, and after that, what you mine is automatically SHA-256, thus making all shares invalid.
What you need to do is download cgminer 3.7.2, and add to your bat file the flag "--scrypt".
