ok thats just my lousy typing. having rechecked it is in the bat file as -I 13 and -o stratum etc
i managed to get a partial screen shot in the brief momment it was up and it says
"cgminer: --thread: unrecognised option"
is this because i took the settings from the litecoin hardware comparison wiki? If so what should it be?

lol.. ok found it
it has to be --thread-concurrency
the "-" is important
well thats a step forward, cgminer doesn't close instantly... but it doesn't do anything either, just goes back to the initial screen as if i'd opened the application not via the .bat file
also put a space after w so its w 256
OK OK i'm impatient... give it a momment and it starts working so far
Have you created a worker on the pool?
If not, create one on the pool site.. and at -u and -p you place the worker username and password..
If you already done that try to run the .bat without any extra settings to see if it works at all..
OK so I got it working but my card temps were up to 85C... too hot no doubt. whats a good temperature for 100 load R9 280X cards?
Also how come the pool was showing only 1100-1300 ish kh/s but cgminer was showing 620 ish per worker..... I think I'll need to undervolt these cards now to help with the temperatures!
P.S. this is all very helpful thanks!!!!
What is your card exactly? 65-80 C is acceptable...
You have to open your tower if its not.. and to set fans at manual speed 80-90%
Mine are rock solid stable using 1100. But you can always bump a bit higher if you feel like, or if you need to, say 1110. The exact numbers don't matter as in "1137", etc, as long as it's close. To maximize hashrate you can just change the clock settings while you're in there too. Usually 1050 clock and 1500 memory I've found best for mine. But some people use 1030/1500. 1080/1500 gets slighter higher hashes but usually requires more voltage. Also memory voltage use 1500.
