Re: How to use ASICMiner Block Erupters with CGMiner on Windows 7

Ok, I've tried this every way I can think...  can't get the zadig drivers to install...when I plug in the AsicMiner I get an error 43...

This is the only thing that has seemed to work(but obviously doesn't)   I plug in the miner, go to device manager and uninstall it, open Zadig and install the WinUSB driver, it says it installs successfully, device manager never changes and I never get a prompt to reboot...

I have installed the CP210x driver also...nothing...  If I try to install the Zadig WinUSB driver without first uninstalling the default driver in Device manager, the install fails.

Anything would help at this point and a big Thanks in advance, this community always steps up!

P.S. when I install the driver from Zadig, the device disappears from the list in Zadig.

Not sure if you've gotten it working yet, but this (linked earlier in this thread, I think) got me working on 3.1.1:

Note: don't reset them to WinUSB after installing the other drivers.  Just make sure that they are listed as having COM#, and then specify the COM# in your shortcut or batch file, and you should be ok.

Ya I've been every permutation of these instructions I can think of and I get the same "no go" situation...  When I plug the devices(I have 3) into any USB port it is reported that there is a problem with the device and it is shut down.  Error 43.  I have tried this on 4 different systems and I get the same error from all 3 USB miners.   The actual information when you look at the properties of the device is:  "Windows has stopped this device becuase it has reported problems. (code 43)"

any further assistance would be greatly appreciated!
