I'm not sure with CGminer, but if you've tried everything posted here and it's still crashing (guiminer), verify you have java installed.

Greetings Miners,
got a little problem.
Bought some 5850 to get startet with Litecoin.
I tested:
Card A with 260 kh/s AX5850 1GbD5-PPDHG Power color
Card B with 230 kh/s ATI Radeon HD 5850 Extreme
So i went back to Card A. Deinstalled Drivers. Changed the Card. Installed the drivers again (Catalyst 13.4)
When i start cgminer 3.3.1 after a few seconds i get the message, cgminer isnt working anymore
My Scrypt
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.wemineltc.com:3334 -u XXXX -p XXXX -I 12
I tried CGMiner 3.4.0. Same result.
Installed Catalyst 13.1. Same result with both CGMiners Versions.
Shut down Antivir and Firewall. Same result.
I tried to install the sdk but i always get an error. The Samples wont get installed.
I can run the Card on the Bitminter java Client for Bitcoins with 300 mh/s without problems.
Anyone any suggestions? Want to start Mining again.
Thx for help

STEP 1)
STEP 2)
- 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
Thank you. This solved my problem as well. However, in step 3, I installed the OpenCL from the driver package, and it worked.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your post was incredibly detailed and thorough, which I very much appreciated! I had the exact same issue right down to every step of the way, and tried countless solutions posted by others, but you put it all in one with a few things I have not tried yet, and it worked perfectly.

You can try running CGMiner directly.
no, i did that first. THEN i tried cmd method still didn't work
It is clearly a problem with OPENCL with further research. trying to figure it out.
I know this, because also the OPENCL benchmark has same problem

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: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gui-mining-updated-dec-3-with-7970-bugfix-also-supports-stratum-3878)
Here is the error screen:
I 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
Am 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.
With further research, I now know it is clearly a problem with OPENCL. Trying to figure it out.

UPDATE: SOLVED!!!
Ok, here is how I solved it:
STEP 1)
STEP 2)
Step 3)
Reinstalled the AMD SDK (found here: http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/)
SUCCESS!!!
