I have set everything up and followed the instructions pretty closely.
Miner starts with Admin rights, here is the string:
C:\Users\retro\Documents\CryptoEasyMiner\CryptoNoteMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://us-etn-pool.hashparty.io:7777 -u etnkMV3TAK5M3Q8g6Zk2DbgXpaxyCsqRT3PkXH9NLiQXRdz3nqGedwpNkY12nChjVsJWWgFHk8bpW1o MwumUVy7L3tyUMbgZ6x -p x
Intel i7-7700HQ 16GB RAM getting 38 H/s using 25% of the processing power.
When I mine with my GFX Card I am getting 450 H/s.
Can you give me any advise on how I can fix this?
Try to use -t 4 param. I have i7-4720HQ and 16Gb RAM, which mines at about 150-200 and goes down to 110-120 when I use my computer for work (business needs, not heavy load like 3d rendering or so). So your speed is abnormal.
35-50H/s is ok for old i5-3xxx but not for your CPU
