Hello, I am quite new to mining. i got a couple block erupters working over the summer but I have a feeling the difficulties i has then i messing with me once again. I tried several versions of cgminer and bfgminer but the only version that would work without immediately crashing was cgminer 3.1.1

Now I have a couple Blue Fury's and I followed the directions as per this forum (thanks for that). Got the driver in. but when I start it, it freezes as soon as it says "started bfgminer 3.2.o

I am hoping that its just something simple i am messing up

I have tried these Bat file things:

bfgminer.exe -S "BF1:all" -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u xxxxx -p xxx
bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u xxxxx -p xxx -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACMO

i tried this which was suggested to someone else:
bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u xxxxx -p xxx -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACMO -D -d?
I got maybe a dozen lines that said the following before once again crashing:
ft232r_scan: Found 1d6b:0001 - not a ft232r

Thanks for any help you can provide
oh and i am running on windows 7

If you check your 'devices and printers' do you get the BF to shows as a com:xx device? Maybe your configuration follows the cgminer one, where these USB miners use WinUSB drivers, rather than (serial) Com port drivers?
If you don't get a Com:xx assignment for your BF, you'll need to reinstall the special BF driver provided in the early part of this thread.
Note that there is a newer version of bfgminer (3.6.0) which supports the BF's, so you may want to try that as well (it seems to handle the HW errors a bit better, and doesn't 'hide' them like the 3.2.0 does).
I've been using a batch file similar to
bfgminer.exe -S bigpic:all -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u xxxxx -p xxx

Good luck
