if you still havnt got it working try this guide. it worked for me.
http://www.wtcr.ca/content/asicminer-usb-erupter-windows-setup-instructions
it sets up the BE's for the newer version of cgminer. this then auto detects any new miners and just runs. you don't need to define them in the miner.

I tried bfgminer 3.2.0, and it only detects my gpu.
bfgminer didnt work because you also needed -icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 to go along with your -S All argument.
Nope, not true for the actual versions (3.14 and upwards)
all you need is -S erupter:all
The last version 3.20 also produces less hardware errors than older versions or cgminer. (cgminer/older bfgminer has usualy about 1% hardware errors with USB Erupters, with 3.20 the hardware error rate drops to about 0.6%)

Try a different USB slot. Sometimes USB2 works better then USB3.
I tried cgminer 3.4.1, but it says "No devices detected! Waiting for USB hotplug devices"
Follow the instructions in the ASIC Readme.
Nope, nevermind.
A few shares in, I start getting "invalid nonce - HW error" errors.

Well, I'm mining!
I have no idea what happened; I didn't change anything.
Cgminer 3.1.1 just happened to start working.
Well, in any case, I'm definitely very happy!

heh, yeah it did that for me when it first came out.

I tried bfgminer 3.2.0, and it only detects my gpu.
For the block erupter, it says "Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3", even when I run it as administrator.

Your slashes are still backwards.
//./COM3 NOT \\.\COM3
-nogpu.exe -o
is also what I am using with cgminer 3.1.1
-nogpu.exe -o -u xxx -p xxx --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM18
That's what I'm running with zero issues on cgminer 3.1.1

Copy-pasting the new text into the batch file didn't really change anything
Bfgminer works pretty well with the erupters without any difficulty.
Code:
bfgminer -S all -o -u -p
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o -u -p -S \\.\COM3
Like that?
Like that?
No. Copy and paste this if you are using 3.1.1
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3
Do not include the brackets []
Latest cgminer does not use or support the -S command. That was removed a long time ago. But you DO NEED TO READ ASIC-README on how to set up the driver for the erupter to work.
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o -u -p -S \\.\COM3
Like that?

Paste your bat file here leaving worker name blank. Even a space in the wrong place will screw it up.
Switching the slashes for \\.\COM3 still produces the same error.
Your slashes are backwards.
Should be:
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3

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 tried cgminer 3.4.1, but it says "No devices detected! Waiting for USB hotplug devices"
You should update cgminer to 3.4.1
Hey, I can't seem to get my USB block erupter to work correctly.
I'm using cgminer 3.1.1 on Windows 7 x64
My batch file is this:
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] -S \\.\COM3
I have the silabs drivers installed, and I can see the miner from the devices and printers menu.
When I try to run the batch file, I get these errors:
https://i.imgur.com/qnb4e4l.png
After this, cgminer stops working and closes.
Any ideas on what's wrong?
