There should be a more detail error message and error number right before this message, what is it?

Also, make sure you got the following lines at the top of your bat file (assuming you're using Windows):
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

It says, "failed to init gpu thread 0, disabling device 0", then it says "restarting gpu from the menu will not fix this".

Oh, you meant the string above it. It says, 762 warning, variable "ySIZE" was declared but never referenced. Const uint ySIZE = (1024/LOOKUP_GAP+(1024%/LOOKUP_GAP)0));

Try downloading cgminer from a different source, alternatively you can try sgminer 4.1

in this thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/1461916/tutorial-ultimate-guide-to-tweaking-amd-cgminer-3-7-2-kalroth-edition-sgminer-instructions-included-aswell-get-the-most-hash-out-of-your-gpu 
you'll have links to both sgminer 4.1 and cgminer 3.7.3 (aka 3.7.2 Kalroth edition).

I still get the same error with both of those. Maybe it's the catalyst drivers? but where do i get previous drivers, since amd doesn't have them in their site?
