The setting "Kill miner and try again if mining hasn't started within 60 seconds" is enabled.
I think what could be it in this case, is that the blank window isn't a cgminer.exe process at that moment. Eventhough it says cgminer.exe in the window title.
All the other times I think it works fine I guess.

I managed to make screenshots this morning.
The CGWatcher log stated: "cgminer closed outside of cgwatcher."

Can you try this test build (http://bit.ly/cgw134test) and see if it improves this issue?

I've found a simple workaround for the Win 8 & not starting up issue.

Just create a simple bat file "c:\cgwatcher\cgwatcher.exe" place it in your start up folder (start - run - shell:startup )..works a treat Grin

Thanks, good to know there is a solution. I may have to create a batch file then when creating autorun entries in Windows 8.

Last 3 versions have not worked for me. I had 1.3.4.3, and it worked great, but 1.3.4.7, 1.3.4,6, and 1.3.4.5 all don't work. When they launch, everything looks good, but they NEVER start bfgminer. I get a dos box momentarily that just flashes away, and then CGwatcher says it couldn't start/communicate with bfgminer. Since 1.3.4.3 is not posted on your site, I had to go back to 1.3.3.3, which works fine. I tried again going back to any of the above and can repeat the problem.

After this happens (miner flashes then disappears), if you go to Tests tab and click Create Debug Report and email it to me, I can look for a cause. It's impossible to say what is happening without more information. You can also try the latest test build (http://bit.ly/cgw134test) to see if it works any better.
