1.
What version of cgminer you're using? AFAIK, scrypt & GPU support was removed from cgminer a while back, so you need to use an older version of cgminer to mine scrypt.

2.
Are you sure your username is good?
When I used to mine scrypt with cgminer with some pool, my username usually was formatted like "username.worker"
So if my username on pool was HHH and I had a worker named Worker55, my batch file will say: -u HHH.Worker55

Looks like CoIntellect (so username is ok), I hope I'm wrong though....

Yes, I also suggest the OP to stay away from cointellect. They have changed the rules and now the only pay who will invest (buy) their "mining" contracts.
Now we call it "a 100% ponzi scheme".

Hey OP, if it is really Cointellect, please stay away from it.
There are many other good mining pools out there, including some multipools that choose most profitable coin to mine automatically.

Also, if you're mining with GPU, you should look at sgminer or sph-miner. Both of them are modified and updated version of cgminer. When cgminer stopped supporting GPU mining, it was forked into sgminer and updated many times. Then sgminer was forked into sph-miner and it is also doing well with GPU.

FYI, mining scrypt is not profitable anymore.
