Low difficulty and no shares being accepted - any solutions?

I have just tried to do a bit of GPU mining on cgminer with an AMD graphics card. I have installed the required hardware and I can connect to the pool fine. The only issue I am having is that no shares are being accepted due to low difficulty, I have spent hours researching trying to find the issue with no success. Please help!

Here is my .bat:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u zoormagoodness.two -p ss -I 14 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 10240 --temp-target 55 --temp-overheat 65 --temp-cutoff 75 2>logfile.txt
pause

Here is a log of what is happening:
