<p>This was my problem as well, but hated running with the <code>-T</code> toggle on.
I found out that it had to do with the ncurses lib missing on my freshly installed Win7 system, so after I installed <a href="http://cygwin.com/install.html" rel="nofollow">cygwin</a> cgminer worked without the <code>-T</code> toggle and with the normal stats screen.</p>

<p>Apparently I do not have enough points yet to give your answer a vote, but your solution also worked for me! Adding -T to the command line command did the trick.

+1 - Fixed it for me. For those wondering, '-T' is a shortcut for '--text-only', used to disable ncurses formatted screen output.

In addition to the -T workaround, I found the fix for my machine was to delete the `.bin` file generated. The fault was reproducible every single time if I left it alone.

Since I execute from a batch file, I just added a line before executing cgminer:

```
del scrypt*.bin

```

Naturally, this deletes any `.bin` files prefixed with `scrypt` (leaving others alone if you're mining something else using the same base directory).

This was my problem as well, but hated running with the `-T` toggle on.
I found out that it had to do with the ncurses lib missing on my freshly installed Win7 system, so after I installed [cygwin](http://cygwin.com/install.html) cgminer worked without the `-T` toggle and with the normal stats screen.
