Noob startup errors #416

Open Pandoraaaaa opened 6 years ago

Pandoraaaaa commented 6 years ago

Working with 1 test card, nvidia 1050 ti on Windows 10. I started with the latest release zip of megaminer and chose all the pools and all the algos with result: software did not work. So today I am starting over. I've downloaded loaded master repo into new folder and I'm working only with zpool and one algo at a time in order to isolate problems.

I will keep a running list of issues, any help or feedback is appreciated!

Issue 1) Powershell opens and then closes before I can see what the problems (in red) are - please tell me how to capture that output. I have enabled debug logging in config.txt, but it would be nice if that powershell screen would stay up for 5 seconds rather than flashing by. One error that I was able to capture in the log file was concerned the screen width:

05/21/2018 08:32:48...... ###### ERROR ##### Exception setting "WindowSize": "Window cannot be wider than 160.
Parameter name: value.Width
Actual value was 185." at set_WindowSize, C:\Users\m\Desktop\mm2\Include.ps1: line 1301

Issue 2) When I set the algo to X17

Here is a screen capture for the x17 issue: x17 Thank you to anyone that has read this far!

I will continue to add algos in isolation, this is painful and tedious process so I am open to better ideas. I don't even care that much about nvidia, the reason I am interested in megaminer is because of the amd miners as I mostly have amd gpus. Thanks!
