Hello all,
Call me incapable but I am totally unable to figure out why GUIMiner still doesn't read any devices.
I have done a large amount of hunting to no avail.

My computer (For the time being, upgrading soon)
Toshiba Satellite
Model C655
Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU    900@2.20GHx (my key to the left of X isn't functioning..)
2GB RAM
64 Bit Windows 7

GPU -
Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing necessary drivers but each time I do I get a message telling me to contact the computer manufacturer (Toshiba) because the Intel things that I tried to install are not validated.

I am very "computer savvy" but this one just stumps me. I realixe that my computer isn't exactly ideal for what I want to do but I am really aiming to understand the process of how this works so when I do upgrade I can more easily decide what product is right for me based on my desires.

If any further details are needed to help you help me I would be glad to share! Tell me what you need to know!!
Thanks,
Honeycomb

The problem is: your GPU is not OpenCL capable, thus you cant mine with that GPU.
This is the reason why GUIminer does not find a GPU (OpenCL).

So the GPU in my computer is not capable of mining?  Is there any sort of tweak to change that?

I just want to be sure.

NO, your only way of mining with that laptop is CPU mining but that wont be profitable.

Here is a link to (almost) all mining devices (CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC)
