OK, I have 2 systems each that run 3x BFL singles.  I am trying to add a 4th, and I keep crashing CGminer. 

The .bat file that works is this:

C:\Users\user\Desktop\cgminer-2.4.1-win32\cgminer.exe -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM5

when I add the new single, and add the port scan, it looks like this:

C:\Users\user\Desktop\cgminer-2.4.1-win32\cgminer.exe -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM5 -S COM 6


When i try to use that second .bat file, CGminer crashes after scanning the ports. 

Any help that fixes this problem gets 2 BTC!!

I am a trusted trader!  Ask Inaba, Luo Demin, Vanderbleek, Sannyasi, Episking, Miner99er, Isepick, Amazingrando, Cablez, ColdHardMetal, Dextryn, MB300sd, Robocoder, gnar1ta$ and many others!

I believe it's not crashing, but rather closing the batch file because "-S COM 6" is not a valid argument. You might want to try "-S COM6" or running cmd.exe then pasting the command in.

I think it's trying to scan for COM, which you don't have a single plugged into.

Typo......this is the actual .bat that is crashing:

C:\Users\user\Desktop\cgminer-2.4.1-win32\cgminer.exe -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM5 -S COM6

nice catch though!  

CGminer is launching fine, scans the 4 ports, then the pop-up that says "CGminer has stopped working"

Code:
C:\Users\user\Desktop\cgminer-2.4.1-win32\cgminer.exe -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM6

If that works, CGminer just crashes with 4 -S arguments for whatever reason. If it fails, you've got a bad single, a bad cable, or the wrong COM port.

The "has stopped working" message indicates that something has been written to the Windows Event Viewer log, look there for any additional clues.

That DOES work.  I know others are using more than 3 singles.....someone must know.

I think I have it.  Open up cmd prompt and make the window larger in options, try 85W 50H.  Close that out and try your batch file again, It should work now that everything fits on the screen. Cheesy

Tired of substandard power distribution in your ASIC setup???   Chris' Custom Cablez will get you sorted out right!  No job too hard so PM me for a quote

Screen-size crash... what the hell... oh. I understand. This is Windows. When the application tries to write to a nonexistent location on the screen, it probably gets or passes a bad pointer then crashes, or the dll function which was called has poor error handling and crashes. Not so weird after all

-s com 6 is the issue and no I am not reading the whole thread.

1. That was a typo.
2. That was already mentioned.
3. The issue is already fixed.
