Topic: cggminer not running properly with asic block erupters? (Read 1467 times)
This could be related to power problem. Powered usb hub is prefered.
Give the new drivers ago as others have suggested, if that does not work let us now. It is a good idea however to update your cgminer.
Version 3.2.1 is actually new enough to run the block erupter. The problem zich has is that he probably has not installed the drivers for his miner to work:

Without this, your computer cannot 'talk' to your miner properly.
There's not much point advising him how to use an old version which uses different drivers to the current version and is riddled with bugs long since fixed in the newer versions.http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

I wasn't advising him to use the old version. I was saying that his old version is likely not the problem--it is his lack of drivers which is the problem.
I am certain that all versions of cgminer require the silabs driver for the erupter to function--I was using a new version of bfgminer with my block erupter back in the day and I required the driver before it would work.
In short, him upgrading cgminer will not address the root cause of his issue. It may be more stable/have less bugs (and be a good idea), but he still requires the same driver.

OK so I have a usb block erupter and downloaded cg miner v3.2.1 extracted it created a bat file and named it Startmining.bat so it would save as a .bat.
I input cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://my.pool.3333 -u UserID_worker -p **** --disable-gpu -S all This does not work do you have any help on this?
EDIT: I have MultiMiner but that is bringing up 10mh/s average even though it says 336mh/s when bought could you explain this?

Download the latest cgminer, your cgminer is very old.
You need to use powered usb hub(a good one) since it's draw more power.
Of course even if you can draw 336MH, you won't get any share with today difficulty.
