Alright, so I have everything installed.  I was following this page:

http://bitcoinbtc.net/usb-asicminer-setup-how-to-setup-usb-asicminer-block-erupter/

I am confused about the part where he says:

STEP 5: Create a Desktop Shortcut.

Refer to the directory that contains your cgminer 3.1.1 install, create a shortcut with a target command line that looks like this example:

C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username].[worker] -p [password] –icarus-options 115200:1:1 –icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 -S //./COM4

The above line does not copy paste correctly. There is actually two hyphens prefixed before each of the icarus settings. For example:  - -icarus-options 115200:1:1 and – -icarus-timing 3.0=100 but no spaces between each set of hyphens. My friend and I were troubleshooting his new bitcoin mining toy, and after nearly a hour we realized our copy/paste all showed one hyphen instead of two.

C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username].[worker] -p [password] – -icarus-options 115200:1:1 – -icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 -S //./COM4

You will need to add –S //./COM(x) depending the amount of devices for your particular bitcoin mining setup.

I didn't know what that meant.  So I just tried starting up the cgminer application.  It said this in DOS:

- Started cgminer 3.11.0
- USB init, open device failed, err -12, you need to install a WinUSB driver for -AMU device 2:1
- See README.txt file included for help
- Icarus detect <2:1> failed to initialise
- No deviced detected!
- Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
- Need to specify at least one pool server.
Input server details.

When I open the window from the Device Manager titled Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM6), it reads the status as working properly.


Clearly, I'm a noob at this.  But I want to get at least some of my money's worth for this block eruptor.  Can I get some more help with this?  (I am on a Windows Vista, if I didn't mention it before)
