I don't understand why this is not working right. Sure, it runs guiminer, but guiminer just sits there doing nothing. Normally the task manager tells me the CPU is at 100% when a miner is running. But the CPU just idles after guiminer starts. Nothing happens. How do I set guiminer to automatically start a miner?

I have the exact same issue although I'm trying to run the GPU instead.

Yah, I can't use my GPU, because even though I finally managed to get OpenCL installed, none of the OpenCL miners actually say I have an OpenCL capable GPU, so they just use the CPU anyway, might as well not have OpenCL. Sad

I just figured out how to make guiminer automatically start a miner, I had forgotten about something I saw back when I first started using guiminer. Run guiminer manually, then click on View menu, and Show Summary, which shows you all your miners in one window... along with Auto Start checkboxes for them. Click which ever ones you want to auto start as soon as guiminer starts, and there you go. And now I'm wondering why whileidle always shuts itself off when the system stops being idle, I thought it would only shut off the guiminer, which it does brilliantly by the way. So since whileidle shuts off every time, I can't count on it to always be running, so, I'm going to try using the built in Scheduled Tasks system for windows. I've used it before, it always works great. I've set it up just now to run guiminer Only when Idle, and to shut off guiminer when the computer is no longer idle. Plus, it has a great feature of never running this CPU intensive process on battery power.

Ok, System Scheduler is great at shutting down guiminer when the system isn't idle anymore, but does not shut down the miners that guiminer is running, so, I changed it to run whileidle.exe instead, and that is working out great. One problem with whileidle I forgot to mention, in the settings file for it, when I switch it to not hide the program it's running, well, it still hides it. The guiminer icon appears in the system taskbar, but no window pops up so I can see the khash/s. Sad
