No idea then. Heck hashfast weren't even looking for windows support from me, I just told them I could get it working on it as an afterthought. You're ALWAYS going to be better off mining with linux with cgminer but I might take a look at losedows soon to see if I can figure out what the problem is. What does it show with "cgminer.exe -n" ?

Yeah, I don't want to complain really. It's just the windows binaries/readme suggest hashfast devices will work with it and I wondered if maybe the problem is at my end.

cgminer -n:

Code:
[2014-03-19 10:46:24] USB all: found 6 devices - listing known devices
 [2014-03-19 10:46:24] No known USB devices

I can confirm the HF device is there, WinUSB installed, PID is correct in device manager.
Ok that's suspicious of being plugged into a usb port that winusb doesn't recognise, such as a usb3 port. I suspect the earlier version of cgminer included a different libusb which probably did recognise it (though that libusbx is buggy in so many other ways which is why I dropped it). See if you have any usb2 ports anywhere or a usb2 hub to plug in and see if it's recognised. If it doesn't show up with cgminer.exe -n then it will never work.
