CGMINER, 7950, XP .. is this combination possible?

[siggy]

Has anyone been able to mine on XP with a 7950 and CGMINER?   

What Driver/SDK combinations work?

I spent all last night downloading and trying all the various driver & SDK versions and keep getting the no GPU avaliable when I start CGMINER... 

I never had these problems with my 5xxx & 6xxx cards 

If this isn't possible, can someone point me to a guide on how to set up mining on linux? 

Thanks,
Sigg

Not possible. 7x GPUs need opencl 2.6 or later and there is no support for opencl 2.6+ on XP. It is after all a 12 year old operating system.

What is this cat referring to mr. ckolivas?

actually there are modded drivers which support the 7970 and windows xp with opencl. APP SDK v2.6 actually works with windows xp. AMD just disabled it in versions of catalyst for windows xp after 12.1 to b dicks.

The more miners, the stronger the networks.

Can anyone help here?
