SCROLL DOWN TO END OF POST FOR THE SOLUTION!!!I downloaded the latest version (
here: github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/guiminer-20121203 [DOT] exe), found at the official thread (
here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0)
Here is the error screen:
http://s18.postimg.org/o4g1mbkh5/Clipboard01.jpghttp://s9.postimg.org/nt5zipwsf/Clipboard04.jpgI installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (
here) just in case, but it didn't work.
I installed the OpenCL for my Radeon HD card (
here), and restarted my PC, but still same appcrash.
The file I am directly double-clicking to run from the extracted folder, is guiminer.exe
http://s24.postimg.org/r3k6p0p1x/Clipboard02.jpgAm I supposed to be doing something more than just double-clicking the guiminer.exe file?
What could be causing this issue?
Antivirus is not running, and I disabled any malware programs. I disabled Windows Firewall too. Still same issue.
I also tried to run directly from cmd, but same appcrash.
http://s7.postimg.org/b9uafmm4r/Clipboard05.jpgWith further research, I now know it is clearly a problem with OPENCL. Trying to figure it out.
I know this, because also the OPENCL benchmark has same problem

-----------------------
UPDATE: SOLVED!!!Ok, here is how I solved it:
STEP 1)
- Went to C:/Windows/System32/
- appended .old to the following files (you could also delete):
- SlotMaximizerAg.dll
- SlotMaximizerBe.dll
- amdocl64.dll
- OpenCL.dll
- OpenVideo64.dll
- OVDecode64.dll
STEP 2)
- Went to C:/Windows/SysWOW64/
- appended .old to the following files (you could also delete):
- SlotMaximizerAg.dll
- SlotMaximizerBe.dll
- amdocl.dll
- OpenCL.dll
- OpenVideo.dll
- OVDecode.dll
Step 3)
Reinstalled the AMD SDK (found here:

SUCCESS!!!
