And I don't get the can't resolve url I keep getting that is not even gpu related...
Try putting in a domain name instead of a hard IP. Or try a different pool.
Now I have to find what is causing the bug, ati drivers ? ati-stream ?
Try both, one at a time. atistream (AMD SDK) is up to v2.8 these days, but you might want to try 2.4, 2.5, 2.6.
What driver versions have you tried?
