1) Some problem with your curses library
2) Some default cgminer.conf file setting some unexpected setting
3) Different version of windows
Otherwise - no idea.
Thanks kano...
Okay, I spent all night reading the other thread that started the bounty to get ckolivas working on scrypt support for cgminer. I also read the cgminer readme twice. I learned a lot of stuff, and do not know what the problem could be yet.
I haven't made too many changes, but I fear it could be that solo mining on secondary computers are glitchy, or there is something awry with my computer.
I will post what my current configuration on my machine is. I just hope I can revert when I make any changes. I admit, some things in that other thread went over my head.
My everyday work/media computer:
- Windows Home Premium x64, SP1
- AMD Phenom II x4 955 black edition, 3.2 ghz
- 8 GB memory
- GPU (device) 0: PCIex16 - Sapphire Radeon HD 6790 - 2 monitors (HDMI [#1], DVI [#3])
- GPU (device) 1: AGP - ATi Radeon HD 46xx - 1 monitor (DVI [#2]) - my "main display"
- Mainboard: MSI (MS-7599) - two USB3 channels, but 1 gets disabled with my PCIex16 GUP

There is no cgminer.conf file.
I don't know what other info to provide.
I know I can upgrade the Catalyst to 12.8 but not sure if it doesn't work out, how to get back to 11.12 (which I know works for BTC mining).
But how do I know what SDK I have? What are curses?
To recap my problem... cgMiner is running Solo mining, but from a different computer on the same home network, but it does not "show" the header, and does not update the window. However it DOES hash as confirmed with the pool I try it with by itself.
ckolivas, titiez, if you can read this, what is going on? I would like your input, even if it's "I dunno". Thanks.
EDIT: I upgraded the catalyst from 11.12 to 12.6 and i can now see the "header"
