Might it have something to do with the fact that in COM has 2 digits instead of 1? Has anyone else run into this issue?
Yes. You need to use the full path if it's more than 1 digit.Code:
cgminer -S \\.\COM10

I've run into a problem running 10 BFL Singles with cgminer 2.3.3 (Windows 7 32-bit). My Singles are assigned to COM ports COM3-COM12 inclusive. I use the following command line:
cgminer reports this error:
It then mines with 7 Singles (COM3-COM9) but doesn't use COM10-COM12). Why is cgminer detecting an Icarus product on COM10-COM12? I have no Icarus, only BFL.
I then tried Ufasoft, and Ufasoft detects and uses all 10 Singles without any issue. Cgminer, however, seems to have trouble with COM10, COM11, and COM12. Might it have something to do with the fact that in COM has 2 digits instead of 1? Has anyone else run into this issue?
If I simplify the command line to only the following:
cgminer comes back with "all devices disabled, cannot mine!" (after the 'Icarus Detect: Failed to open COM10' messages).
Any ideas? Cgmine doesn't seem to be happy with COM10-COM12 but is perfectly happy with COM3-COM9.
Code:
cgminer -o http://pool -u-p --disable-gpu -S COM3 -S COM4 -S COM5 -S COM6 -S COM7 -S COM8 -S COM9 -S COM10 -S COM11 -S COM12
cgminer reports this error:

But why would you upgraded to an old version?
But why would you upgraded to an old version?
my bad for not keeping with the all the versions.
still I am wondering why a command that used to work with the api, does not work with 2.2.6.
WARN: '{"command":"summary"}' returned nothing
If you didn't mistype that, then if you use your original cgminer API settings then that command will work.
The access control changed so that if you didn't modify your cgminer options, you would still have read access, but no write/priviledged access.
As I stated at the time - it was a security fix.
Granting access to destroy your rig or steal your hashes by default seemed like a bad idea.
You now have to choose to let people destroy it or steal hashes (the 'W:' prefix)
I'll waste my time posting the relevant RPC API contents of the README since you didn't read it all:
Quote
RPC API
If you start cgminer with the "--api-listen" option, it will listen on a simple TCP/IP socket for single string API requests from the same machine running cgminer and reply with a string and then close the socket each time
If you add the "--api-network" option, it will accept API requests from any network attached computer.
You can only access the comands that reply with data in this mode.
By default, you cannot access any privileged command that affects the miner -
you will receive an access denied status message see --api-allow below.
You can specify IP addresses/prefixes that are only allowed to access the API with the "--api-allow" option e.g. --api-allow W:192.168.0.1,10.0.0/24 will allow 192.168.0.1 or any address matching 10.0.0.*, but nothing else
IP addresses are automatically padded with extra '.0's as needed
Without a /prefix is the same as specifying /32
0/0 means all IP addresses.
The 'W:' on the front gives that address/subnet privileged access to commands that modify cgminer.
Without it those commands return an access denied status.
Privileged access is checked in the order the IP addresses were supplied to "--api-allow"
The first match determines the privilege level.
Using the "--api-allow" option overides the "--api-network" option if they are both specified
With "--api-allow", 127.0.0.1 is not by default given access unless specified
If you start cgminer with the "--api-listen" option, it will listen on a simple TCP/IP socket for single string API requests from the same machine running cgminer and reply with a string and then close the socket each time
If you add the "--api-network" option, it will accept API requests from any network attached computer.
You can only access the comands that reply with data in this mode.
By default, you cannot access any privileged command that affects the miner -
you will receive an access denied status message see --api-allow below.
You can specify IP addresses/prefixes that are only allowed to access the API with the "--api-allow" option e.g. --api-allow W:192.168.0.1,10.0.0/24 will allow 192.168.0.1 or any address matching 10.0.0.*, but nothing else

See that last line ...
If you don't run the current version, you can read the NEWS to work out when different options were added.

Is 0/0 a valid IP range?
If you want local access, try
Assuming your lan uses 192.168.1.x
It sounds like it used to work, so I'm assuming the goal is to allow all IPs. If so, I would try something like 172.0.0.1/0 (since it seems to be checking the address format), and if all addresses is not the goal, another important piece of information might be that 127.0.0.1/32 would be localhost only.If you want local access, try
Code:
W:192.168.1.0/24
Assuming your lan uses 192.168.1.x
this is in the readme at git:
Without a /prefix is the same as specifying /32
0/0 means all IP addresses.
Let me reword what you said for you:
"I upgraded to an old version that doesn't support 0/0
The current version does support 0/0
Why doesn't the old version magically have the 0/0 code in it that was written after it?"
The problem is you didn't upgrade to the version that supports 0/0 ...
If you upgrade to before a version that supports something ... ... it means it wont work ... ...
If you read the NEWS file it will tell you which version added the code that supports 0/0
But why would you upgraded to an old version?

Both 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 windows versions stop working on user switching.
2.3.1 works well.
Win7 x64, SDK 2.6.
User switching?... What on earth has the cgminer version got to do with that?2.3.1 works well.
Win7 x64, SDK 2.6.
I don't know O_o.
But when I return back to the user running cgminer I see that no more shares were submitted since I switched out.
It just staying still.
This is a Windows 7 issue, it has nothing to do with cgminer. W7 doesn't operate the same as XP did, anything that the user has running is suspended when that user is logged out or another user is switched to. In XP you could continue to have programs running with a logged out user, not in Win 7.
No, Win7 doesn't suspend tasks of inactive user.
It does make something weird with drivers when switching between users but again it isn't full termination or suspend.
Anyway 2.3.1 have enough luck to work well behind the scene and behave alive when I switch to the user where It runs.
I wonder if something was changed between 2.3.1-2 and 2.3.2 and caused such behavior?
Didn't Ckolivas change it in 2.3.2 to restart ADL if it stopped and in 2.3.2 changed it to just restart cgminer if ADL stopped working? When you log out or switch users, Catalyst stops running thus no ADL.

now we get this from my old api call: arrrgggg...

I know this is a busy thread, i try not to post unless needed...
I upgraded one of my rigs from 2.2.1 to 2.2.6. I am having trouble with the API calls now.
this is my conf snippet
Code:
"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:0/0",
but this is what I get when I start cgminer:
Code:
API not running (no valid IPs specified) - API will not be available

No idea 
Only time someone reported something along these lines they discovered the display GPU wasn't actually the one they thought it was in cgminer. The GPU numbers don't always make sense and are just whatever OpenCL tells cgminer.
Well I know I have the right one; my top (display) GPU's fan always runs a couple hundred RPM faster than my second one. I've tested it quite a bit with different settings on each (and I think I would probably be able to tell if my display GPU was running at 8 intensity Only time someone reported something along these lines they discovered the display GPU wasn't actually the one they thought it was in cgminer. The GPU numbers don't always make sense and are just whatever OpenCL tells cgminer.
).Also, what intensity is usually recommended for 6870s?

Hey guys! i add a 5870 and a 5830 running perfectly on cgminer, but when i added a 5750 via a x1 extender cable cgminer crashes everytime i try to open it. I tryed doing no overclocking to the cards etc etc and nothing works. Some help please! 
after that error msg cgminer crashes.
Try deleting any .bin files you have in the cgminer directory and starting again. If that fails, try specifying a different worksize for the 57x0 to the 58x0 (eg -w 256,256,128 if the 5750 is last). after that error msg cgminer crashes.

Are there any downsides to running 1 thread per GPU on a normal pool? Every time I try enabling that second thread, my hashrate drops severely and my system becomes really slow.
It usually adds only a small amount to the hashrate in the order of 1-3% depending on device.
