You don't have to, if you have an online wallet. My concern was having two programs fighting for the same port.
To give the flag, either run it from the command line or make a shortcut and edit the shortcut and type in --http-port 8330 after bfgminer.exe
If there is a " after bfgminer.exe then add the flag after it

Thanks for the suggestions Michael!
I ran bfgminer with the --http-port 8330 and reconfigured the blade as well to port 8330...
It connected to slush and started hashing slowly then reset at 2 min. 20. secs...
same problem... im totally lost at this point!
any other ideas? ill try anything.
