I tried bfgminer, but I got the error "Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3".
was having the same problems....finally tried bfgminer....been up and running perfectly for 15hrs
The newest cgminer just says "no devices detected", and I did install the zadig drivers.
The computer does detect the USB stick though:

Other than to verify the COM port your USB stick is on..As said for me, I had to use CGminer 3.1.1 for it to work properly on my win 7 machine.
Did you download the proper driver? I have seen it confused with a "WINUSB" version.
You def. want this driver:

Here is a step by step guide (mind the slashes):

Check the connection, is it plugged in properly?
When you tried the newest cgminer did you use the zadig drivers and no -S or -icarus switches?
It returns the same error as when the batch script is launched with forward slashes.
Also, I attempted to use bfgminer, and I got the error "Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3"
My batch file for bfgminer was this:
c:\bfgminer\bfgminer -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --disable-gpu -S all

Try Using CGminer 3.1.1 - I Just realized I made an error from earlier.
What happens when you launch the batch script?

Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to make it work. Cgminer version 3.4.1 isn't able to detect the usb miner, and switching the slashes produces the same error.
If you are still having issues (although, it seems the problem should be fixed) then try watching a few tutorials on youtube. Try to follow them step by step and you should be able to get it up and running. Try to find a tutorial which has your operating system etc.
Please let us know if you get it working.

Since its windows,
Switch up your slashes up:
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3
Try this:
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S \\.\COM3
Note: I had to use CGminer 3.3.1 for it to work properly on my windows machine. No idea why

First make sure your hub has enough power if you're using one. Try just plugging it into the computer.
Second use the latest cgminer (3.4?) and the zadig drivers. There isn't any -S type stuff anymore.

I'm trying to setup an asicminer block erupter on cgminer 3.1.1 on Windows 7 x64.
I have a .bat file that looks like this:
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3
I have installed the drivers for the block erupter, and I can see it under devices and printers.
When I run cgminer, it looks like this:

Does anybody know how to fix this?
