What does the log file say? Its the "textfile" directly below the .exe I think.

Looks like the same error as here [1], fix was to delete the file poclbm.ini which should be in %appdata%\poclbm

It is also a fix for some other problems with Guiminer, the .ini will be recreated. If you are unsure about this cut it somewhere else to have a backup.

Thats not possible, unless your Win7 is fucked up.  Do Win + R enter %APPDATA% and klick ok. If that folder appears empty change your folder settings. More about the file here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm

You did install/have OpenCL, correct?

How to use:

Extract the archive to anywhere (your desktop is fine) and double click the guiminer executable. If you have OpenCL set up correctly this should launch the GUI. If you get an error about OpenCL, you need to install an OpenCL package from your GPU vendor. For AMD/ATI cards you can get OpenCL here (http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx).

OpenCL needs no confirguration. You are playing the pronoun game which makes me guess what you are talking about. Its just wasting time.

%APPDATA%\poclbm would result in c:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\poclbm in your case. In that folder should be a single file. Delete it. Try launching GUIMiner again, report back.

If you enter

Code:
echo $%APPDATA%

in console does it return c:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming ?
