I am trying to get my 6970 to run openCL. It runs openGL without any problem, but I cannot get the CL working. I have tried every driver I can find. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have even tried installing just the Cl driver from AMD and that did not work. What do I need to do to get this working? I am using XP 32 I have tried to install Plclbm.exe and GUIminer, but I get this error when I try to run them. “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect" I get the same message when I open it with a .bat using this command "start /DC:\bitcoins\pfile poclbm.exe --user=***** --pass=***** --device=0" I have tried 11.3, 11.4, and 11.5 none of them work. the card is up and running I just can not get the openCL working. I have tried AMD APP SDK 2.4. no change Here is a screen shot of the error message. This comes up with GUIminer or poclbm.exe http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/251160_2041777853999_1530903905_32366898_117027_n.jpgHere is the GPU Caps Viewer http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/254805_2041779094030_1530903905_32366900_3333921_n.jpg

Use SDK 2.1 and reinstall GUIminer
sdk 2.1 does not support 6xxx series cards. and frankly.. the whole ATI/AMD software thing on win 7 x64 was not complicated for me. i just downloaded their current drivers for the card and that contains everything i needed. edited to add: i misread. the OP is using XP.

Use SDK 2.1 and reinstall GUIminer
SDK 2.1 will not work with a 6xxx card. Install SDK 2.2 if you are using 64bit windows, for some reason SDK 2.4 does not install correctly. Once it is installed you will see both SDKs available. make sure to use --platform 0 or --platform 1 in your flags.

seems to me, a fully patched win7 x64 box with all optional windows update stuff should have grabbed that. i recall seeing it downloaded by win update just yesterday when i built a box.

First of all you have an old version of GUIminer.
About OpenCL support - what does the (2.4) AppSDK say when you try installing it? Usually even just installing the current AMD driver should be enough!

clean out all your drivers with driver sweepers and install just 11.5 drivers and openCL drivers.

djex your .5 is on its way.
When I install 2.4 it goes through all the motions. I chose Express it runs and says complete. then I reboot. That is the same for all the versions I install.
