Should difficulty be set to 2 or 3 for a 2GH/s miner so as to avoid spamming the pool with 1diff shares? How many GH/s do you need to have before that becomes necessary?

Cklovias is close to a solution I think... he has his BitFury USB mining.
Working fine on linux. Windows hates me and refuses to behave 
typical third-party software junk

I loaded it up once and it ran just fine at ~2.65GH/s for a few hours, then I restarted my PC (changed nothing) and now when I run it the only thing detected is OCL 0 (CPU) and it won't find my BF1. Device Manager shows no issues and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and a fresh DL of the BFGMiner.
Any bright ideas?

Thanks for the warning! I won't restart my computer if I can help it. But sorry, no ideas.

Anyone have a working Windows driver yet?
I tried the VM/Ubuntu method and even installed a homemade driver someone sent me. And one of those things destroyed my main computer. I keep getting the BSoD and I can't even recover Windows 7. Trying a fresh install of Windows 8 now.

That is not a very good site to distribute files on. Please use a better distribution method for files. This site is a virus/adware/malware haven.

Driver won't install on Windows 8 because it isn't signed.

there are 2 files in the bfgminerWin.zip
i. bf1.inf (this is the bf1 usb windows driver)
go to "Device Manager" > "Ports (COM & LPT)", you will see the bf1 usb listed here, double click it, update driver > browse my computer for software > go to bf1.inf
ii. the bfgminer folder with batch file included (#MINE.bat)
simply edit the file in notepad, add your bitcoin address, save, run the batch file to start mining.

Where the hell are the Windows drivers for these god damn pieces of shit?
It really shouldn't be hard to roll your own... I'll probably do it in under 10 minutes once I get one This looked important...
These don't like Icarus probes, so you can't use -S all with them. Try -S bigpic:allI'm still getting nothing but the CPU cores hashing. Is there something else I should be doing here?..
Code:
sudo bfgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username_workername -p password -S bigpic:all
