Ok I'm lost and very new to mining. I downloaded the latest version of PhoenixMiner followed the readme.txt and I keep getting an error that restarts the miner.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here. All my efforts searching on google have been in vain.
This is a driver error, either reinstall your AMD drivers (not the current beta version as it will cause this exact error), or you can use ANY version of the AMD driver and use the -clkernel 0 command to use the generic open cl version. This will work with any AMD driver, including the latest version if you want them for gaming, but the generic open cl kernel will have lower hash and more stale/incorrect shares.
