# Antminer U3 not detecting in cgminer nor bfgminer?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-13)

I am using windows 7. I have installed the driver successfully by zadig.

In cgminer when I open the .bat file, it just doesn't open and gets closed immediately.

When I open in bfgminer it says no device connected.

Command:

```
cgminer.exe -o xxx -u abc.worker -p x

```
