CPU - I get a socket error without any associated message

[LoadRunnerCI]

Hi,

I'm trying to run the 64bit windows binary xmr-stak-cpu.

However, I get a generic 'SOCKET ERROR -' and nothing else.

I know that the pool is valid (fr.minexmr.com:4444,5555) as it works with other miners.

As you can see, it selected to use port 4444. In the xmr-stak config file, I have specified two ports as per the above screenshot:

"pool_address" : "fr.minexmr.com:4444,5555",

I have tried using just 4444 and 5555 but to no avail.

Here is a screenshot of my system which is an AWS free tier so it's a tin-pot machine :)

Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Please let me know if you need to see my config file.

Many thanks!!

John
