cgminer seems to be the unanimous best miner to use.  some people use reaper, but it has too many issues.

First thing I did was go look it up.  It says it is for FPGA.  I'm using a GPU...will that matter?

Yea, I read it a little better and see that now. 

Still trying to get GUIminer going at the present.  But still getting the too many values message.

have you tried simply using a nice shot password for the miners something like the very common "btc" its a bit stupid miners need a password at all after all the only thing people can get from knowing you miner password is the abbility to mine on your account. its the pool password that matter the password to log into you pool that need to be the strong one

just google:
cgminer
GUIminer
CPUminer

CPU miner is mainly for litecoins, and it's using the cpu so not the greatest of you want any sort of power, but generally GUIminer is pretty good if you want a non-techy friendly UI

cgminer is great but it couldn't be more complex if they tried

so many options...

but I suppose that's good for us that can figure it out!

The easiest to use is called  GUIminer  I think...

If I remember correctly, there is a thread that calls for not using GUIMiner

This is the first one I tried.  I keep getting the error message:  "Too many values to unpack".  After looking online, it seems the solution is to make sure you don't have any special characters in your password...which I don't.  Its just numbers and letters.

Is there, anywhere, a list of miners?  I have tried several on my machine and all I get it a message saying too many values to unpack (No, I don't ahve a special char in my password or username) Or I boot a miner up and it flashes a box and disappears.  And I've not been able to figure out how to troubleshoot without knowing what the beep the thing is doing.

Thanks for any help.
