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.

The only thing i notice is the missing : in prohashing.com3339 -> prohashing.com:3339

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

No offense, but you can search most of the stuff here or via google, some work you have to do on your own, not gotta write a book here :P

How did you fix it? Was it the missing ":"
