BFGMiner crashes when I start it. Maybe I should try the 32bit version.

About as simple as it gets.
With those 3 steps on this web page.

https://bitminter.com/


in other words

download a wallet like bitcoin-qt
download a miner like bfgminer
probably choose a pool like bitminter.

I successfully set up a miner last year. Then, my computer crashed. Literally. Don't drop a computer while the hard drive is spinning. It's bad for the drive.

Now, I can't seem to get it working again. I'm trying to follow the newb guides, and the one link leads to newslobster.com. I know the page is in English, but it confuses the heck out of me.

Can someone point me in the direction of a plainly written guide. I need to set everything up from the bottom up.

Thanks.
