Bloody, I ran into the same problem. You just need to add the Java dir path to the windows paths- this should help you out: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_stop_the_error_%27java%27_is_not_recognized_as_an_internal_or_external_command_operable_program_or_batch_file

Thank now it is Starting,

but next Problem: Try to start mining but getting poclbm error that I didn't select --platform!

Try adding:

;Args=--platform=1 -v -w128 -f60
;Device=0

or

;Args=-v -w128 -f60 --platform=1
;Device=0

to poclbm.cfg but still same error!?

What do I have to do to get I starting.?

I have another question, is it possible to run to GPUs with one instance of CherryPicking? Whre do I configure this?

Hope you can help me, Thanks a lot!

Bye Bloody

Lines starting with ; are considered comments in .cfg files, so they're ignored. Delete the ; in front and it should work. Yeah, you can run any number of GPUs with one instance of CP, as long as they're on the same poclbm platform.

Need some help. Installed the files, configured a few pools (up until this point I was using only BTCGuild so I had to make a bunch of new accounts), and keep getting what seems like a connection error. When I try to manually launch guiminer and have it mine it connects fine and the sites are reporting the work turned in. When I try to use CP I get this:

and I'm not sure what's misconfigured with ARS here:
Type=BACKUP
Host=arsbitcoin.com
Port=8344
JSON=https://arsbitcoin.com/api.php
HashEx1="hashrate":"\d+
HashEx2=\d+
;SharesEx1=
;SharesEx2=
Div=1e3
Miner=username pw

So I'm not sure why it's getting those RPC errors and not connecting Huh

There are some certificate problems with a few pools that use HTTPS, but a fix is available (see the 2nd post in this topic, there's a link there)

As for the connection issues, your poclbm is for some reason trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost, your own computer) even though it's being told to connect to some other pool. I don't know why this happens, but try deleting it and then downloading it again.
