Not sure what miner you are using but the config looks correct for most.

What error message are you getting for the miner?

You should add the l= password switch. While not having it would not cause it to fail, it certainly help to list what your GPU has.

Consider using the l=[RAM in GB] password argument to specify the miner's memory limit. Proswitching will only assign coins requiring a DAG that can fit in the l= memory limit. The more profitable "Ethash" algorithm is restricted to workers with more than 4GB of RAM, while the "Ethash-LowMemory" algorithm accepts workers with any amount of RAM.

miner.exe --algo ethash --server prohashing.com3339 --user alwayswinter --pass a=ethash,n=WORKER1,o=DANIEL
The only thing i notice is the missing : in prohashing.com3339 -> prohashing.com:3339

Good catch. That : missing would definitely cause it to fail.
