Are you using Windows/Mac/Linux?

You can mine using the QT client AFAIK though I've not had any luck with it myself.

Okay I can help!  First off, what kind of processor do you have, because that will make a difference?  Let me know and I can tailor the information below a little more for you.  Also, are you using a pool?  If so, let me know which pool.

Follow these steps for an easy rinse and repeat experience Pool experience:

1.  Navigate to the folder where 'minerd' is extracted to.
2.  'Right click' on the 'minderd.exe' and make a shortcut in the same folder
3.  'Right click' on the shortcut and add the following parameters one space after 'minerd.exe' in the 'Target': 
-a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://THE POOL ADDRESS:PORT -u WORKER.WORKER -p PASSWORD -t #
4.  Keep in mind, Step 3 assumes you are using a pool.
5.  So now replace everything that I capitalize in step 3 with your pools information
6.  Replace the '#' after the 't' with the amount of threads your processor can support.  (For instance, replace '#' with '2'
7.  Click 'Apply'
8.  Run the shortcut, and that is it! 

Let me know if you have any other questions
