Hi, I have a really crappy computer and tried mining on it with a gpuminer and it said I didn't have either opencl. The graphics card is integrated, but I found out that I can use another one with the pci-e slot. I was wondering if I bought a new graphics card to use and disable the integrated one, how I can get opencl to work so I can mine with it?

After you buy a new graphics card, you only need to download and install suitable drivers for it. For ATI/AMD, those are the Catalyst 13.12.

Be advised mining Bitcoin is futile with video cards.  You can mine altcoins and convert to Bitcoin if you wish or just keep the altcoins.  To do this you must also have a reliable internet connection (reliable, not fast) and also have at least 2GB of RAM (4GB suggested).  If you don't have these later items then you need to acquire them or adjust your plan.
