Alright so I have an ATI 6870, Bitcoin is up to date, GUIMiner is v2012-12-03 and the error I receive after putting my details to login to the slush pool:

Searched around on the forum for similar threads, no solutions that I can see.
AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-Windows-64 is installed.
Set my GPU to defaults with no OC.
Also tried with phoenix miner and worked but that uses Getwork protocol and I couldn't get it to work with the Stratum proxy. Tried with cgminer and bfgminer, both crash on start after putting in my configs.
Would like if GUIMiner worked though, thanks and I hope for some answers!
