I have 2 clients running but its giving me the validations error and i just dont know what to do from there.  I also have a second registered worker.  Any words of wisdom?

i personally wouldnt crossfire the cards as you will probably get scaling issues where you lose some of your potential hashrate that could of been utilized had you only used 1 card

Windows XP
Crossfire IS enabled
I have latest versions of the GPU drivers but im not sure what SDK means.  Sorry.

I think i wanna keep them crossfired because this isnt a dedicated mining rig.  this is also my day to day use PC.  I got my Laptop stolen thanks to my stupid ass room mates leaving the back door open when i was away for a few days.  Gotta love living with chicks...

No i can run the one instance just fine.  its just the hashrate that used to have with only one card.  is there a way to run both through one client?

Yes i set different lines for each in the different clients.  It says "Verification failed, Check Hardware"

Its takes a few seconds to do it.  i haven't over-clocked either of them yet so i dont think thats the issue

Deactivate Crossfire when mining, activate it to play games?

The cards have both been tested at normal and over clocked settings they aren't faulty.  i just don't think i'm doing the setup right.
