Hey guys I have been trying to get this running for a few hours now and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing here. I keep getting this error message:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd c:\cryptoswitcher

c:\CryptoSwitcher>python cryptoswitcher.py

c:\CryptoSwitcher>cryptoswitcher.py

I followed the steps in this thread and have everything installed correctly to my knowledge. Here is my cryptoswitcher.config file:

I have all of those .bat files in my cgminer folder along with all of the cryptoswitcher items. I am sure I am missing something simple I just can't figure it out.

If anybody has any ideas It would be greatly welcomed.

I hate to bump my own post but this has my head spinning. I have tried to google and research this issue with no answer anywhere that I can find. I would really love to get this working to try out the program. Again any and all advice is welcome. Thanks again in advance.

stupid question but you have the .conf file in the same directory as the .py file right? Also make sure the extension is .conf and not .config

Yep and yep. Still no dice.
