Title: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Malach on October 11, 2012, 11:29:47 PM I've got a rig with a 5970 in it and I've installed all the ati drivers including the amd app sdk, however when I run guiminer it tells me it can't find any opencl devices. I've read around about how I may need an earlier version of the sdk but the archive on amd's site tells me the page cannot be found.
Am I able to mine using windows xp or am I going to have to commit to getting another copy of windows 7 :-\ Edit: Ended up just dumping windows entirely and using BAMT, works way better and easy to install! Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Gleamwar on October 11, 2012, 11:56:05 PM It is very possible to run under XP.
I upgraded all of them since, but my first one was XP. Try this one, think it was the one I used when I helped a friend reload one of his older machines awhile back. Looks like the same site anyways. :) http://www.bitcoinminer.com/post/3828447301/ati-stream-sdk-downloads Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Malach on October 11, 2012, 11:57:09 PM Awesome! Was trying to find other downloads to older sdk versions
Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Malach on October 12, 2012, 12:29:36 AM installed version 2.2 and now my cpu shows up in guiminer but not my 5970, have latest drivers installed.
Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Malach on October 12, 2012, 12:58:59 AM We're can I find older version of the sdk like 2.6?
Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Malach on October 12, 2012, 01:30:51 AM Well now the only problem I'm running into is that I can't enable opencl on my 5970!!! I was getting prompt telling me that the current display drivers don't support opencl but I didn't get that error when I installed sdk 2.6 only got the prompt with 2.2 and 2.3.
Can I get some help!!! Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Gatorhex on October 12, 2012, 11:53:28 AM Did you try upgrading your Ati drivers?
Also try GUIMiner it's much easier to use and works for both OpenCL(Ati) and Cuda(nVidia) Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done?

You'll want to download catalyst 11.12 which includes sdk 2.6: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/previous/11/Pages/radeon.aspx?os=Windows%20Vista%20-%2032-Bit%20Edition&rev=11.12 Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: Instinct212 on October 16, 2012, 03:32:29 AM Oh yeah can def be done I don't have any experience with ATi cards + XP but the majority of my mining is on XP (old school!) with an nvidia card using GUIMiner ;D

I know this is a new post, but i'm having the same issues. I've read above and installed all SDK versions with Catalyst. The closest i've gotten is just getting the CPU under "Device" in GUIminer. I have a 5970 and running XP.... How do I resolve this issue? Thanks Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: BelMarduk on May 11, 2013, 07:27:07 PM I have a 7870 running XP and have the same problem. No OpenCL devices. have tried all the different driver versions I could get my hands on, and the different SDK's to no avail. Going to boot a linux and see how that works

Going to boot a linux and see how that works I had same problem, and no solution for it. I gave up trying to work with XP. Try with trial version of Windows 8 Enterprise Edition (90 days, possibility of 180 days). There everything works ok. Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done?

Title: Re: OpenCL Mining and Windows XP, can it be done? Post by: infinitybo on December 26, 2013, 08:47:44 AM @OP Sure it can be done however you need to update your driver for the latest.
