Try Kruncha's fix. Also, having a desktop shortcut to guiminer is awesome. Right click guiminer.exe in the extracted folder and "send to desktop".
I would delete the extracted folder and download a fresh copy from here

Did not work, but thank you so much for trying!
Hi, if still not working, try this:
In the taskbar, left-click once on the folder icon so it gains focus
Now, press "ALT-Space" (you will see a menu appear on the folder)
Press "M" to choose the Move option (your cursor will now turn into four arrow points).
Press any of the cursor keys once (this will move your folder on the screen and it will be captured by the mouse)
Move your mouse about and you will see the folder moving with it
Left-Click to "drop" the folder onto your desktop.
Hope it helps (thanks to pixilated8)

Good luck!
Right-clicking on the task-bar icon hopefully gives three options - pause, restore and close. Restore should open it up for normal interaction.
I'm on Slush's pool, and that option should be in the 'server' drop down box. This will put the relevant info into some of the boxes for you.
Fill out your user.worker name e.g. psipower.worker1, and your password for that worker (which you have created in your account with Slush), select the relevant device - presumably your graphics card - and click 'start mining'. You may see it connect to api2.mining, but get transferred automatically to the stratum servers (more efficient, less fees).
You can save this configuration using File, save settings. Then if you re-start the program anytime, you just need to click 'start mining'!
Then it's time to play around with the other bits and find out what gives you the best rate!!!!
I found setting a CPU affinity box improved my rate.
You may find this helpful for various flags to improve your rate:

So I am interested in getting started in Bit coin mining as part of a pool (Slush's Pool), just to see how everything works. I want to use my Alienware m14x computer for this (it has a Nvidia 650m 2gb), which I know is not the best, but I just want to see how everything works, and then I can upgrade and such if I think it is worth it. (I'm using Windows)
Anyway, my problem is is that when I open GUI Miner, it shows the little GUI Miner minimzied window at the bottom of my screen, but when I click on it, the it disappears, and I can only see it running in my bottom right taskbar. What do I need to do in order to be able to get the actual window to appear on my screen so that I can start mining? Do I need to have finished downloading all the blocks or something for it to work?
A popular reply I saw out there is change your pbolmc.ini (something similar to that) to a value of 0, however when I search the guiminer folder, I can only find it in the .exe format.
Looking for any help, and thanks ahead!
