Some information on using poclbm.exe instead of the auto-mining tool I made.
Download from http://in-uo.net/download/poclbm.zip
When you extract it, you'll see a few batch files and a folder named 'poclbm'
Options.bat :: Double-click this and it will run the program in a way that will display options in the command prompt.
ShowDevices.bat :: You'll need to configure which device to use and this will list the devices found. If it gives an error like "DLL Load failed: The specified module could not be found.", it means that there's no compatible GPU on your machine for poclbm to use and you'd need to use the auto-miner.
poclbm_miner.bat :: This is the main batch file that you'll run to start the miner and the one you'll need to edit.
The last line is the one that needs to be edited. Replace the 'anon' between the _ and the : with your username. Example:
poclbm.exe -d 0 http://[email protected]_eru:[email protected]:8332
The -d 0 flag means "use device 0". You can see the list of devices with the "ShowDevices.bat" file. Edit it to use the # of the device you want to use.
If you have multiple devices, just copy the line and paste it in twice. Here's an example that uses devices 0 and 1.
poclbm.exe -d 0 http://[email protected]_anon:INUOn6L1...t.net:8332
poclbm.exe -d 1 http://[email protected]_anon:INUOn6L1...t.net:8332
Other options can be found here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm#Flags_to_Use
MOST of these you'll never need to touch. Here are the ones that might conceivably need changing:

MOST of these you'll never need to touch. Here are the ones that might conceivably need changing:
Flags Wrote:-r RATE, --rate=RATE Set hash rate display interval in seconds, default=1
-f FRAMES, --frames=FRAMES Will try to bring single kernel execution to 1/frames seconds, default=30. Increase this for less desktop lag
-d DEVICE, --device=DEVICE Set used device by id, by default asks for device
-a ASKRATE, --askrate=ASKRATE Set how many seconds between getwork requests, default 5, max 10
-w WORKSIZE, --worksize=WORKSIZE Set work group size, default is maximum returned by opencl
-v, --vectors Enable vectors, which is faster on some cards.
--verbose Enable verbose output, suitable for redirection to log file
--platform=PLATFORM Set used platform by id
-s SLEEPTIME Sleep for the specified number of seconds between iterations (default 0). Increase this to reduce hashing performance if your temperatures are too high.
