I tried upgrading from 2.0.8 to 2.2.5 but my 5s average dropped from 715 Mh/s to 600 Mh/s.
Dual 5850, one at 850, the other at 900 Mhz, memory at 300 Mhz on both. Windows 7, intensity 9.

This is what I experienced during the weekend:
I received a 5970 and replaced one of my 5870 with it, after graphic card change, the previous LinuxCoin installation cannot start correctly
So, I took another USB stick, installed freshly a new LinuxCoin on it, boot it into LinuxCoin, run phoenix miner, and all 5 GPU gave decent hash rates stable for 6 hours
Then, I downloaded cgminer 2.2.4, updated and installed other dependency packages, then compiled and started it, after 1 minute, it claimed 2 of 5 GPUs dead and rest of GPUs' hash rate dropped 20%
I downloaded cgminer 2.1.2 (which worked flawlessly on the original USB stick), compiled and started (after removing the .bin file from home directory), same problem
Then, I rebooted the machine, fall back to my original phoenix miner method, surprisingly found out that even phoenix only worked on one of the GPU and hang on rest of them
There is one thing I remember: Last time when I tried to compile cgminer 2.1.2, I tried to install libcurl4-openssl-dev and libncurses5-dev but one of them just can not be found, so eventually I installed something else to bypass the dependency check. But this time, it went all smooth. I think one or both of the packages have changed since one month ago and caused these new issues
Finally I have to switch back to the previous working HW/SW configuration, hoping that I could just fix the xorg.conf to get new graphic card recognized

Con, Kano,
Is there a readme somewhere on how to compile for Windows?
Actually - it's in the README Is there a readme somewhere on how to compile for Windows?
(well that's what I used to do it)
Someone else is trying to make a detailed one at the moment that may or may not work well.
Stay tuned ... for a few more weeks maybe?
Hehe ;-) I actually read over that in the README... I'll see whether I can get it build as well ;-)

Since you're not doing the --donation any more is just sent you 1 BTC.
Thanks a lot! Looking at the numbers from --donation, the most I got was about 400Mhash which amounts to about .2BTC per day... not really worth the effort, plus the flaming I got for setting it up and suggesting it was on by default. Strangely, a lot of people haven't noticed nor care that p2pool has donation enabled by default. Anyway it's gone now so I don't need to stress over it. February 13, 2012, 01:38:47 AM

New version: 2.2.5
Finally fixed the opencl created zero sized binary bug.
Finally fixed the opencl created zero sized binary bug.
Hey, I finally have a brand spanking new set of .bin files for Windoze.
Sam
Especially since the kernel filenames and format has changed and it's essential that it can actually create the binaries. In fact it was this bug that made me reluctant to try and make any new kernels in the past.Well it sounds like we can all move forward more confidently now.
Since your not doing the --donation anymore is just sent you 1 BTC.
Thanks,

@Elmojo: you forgot to add at least some of the following arguments, otherwise the header wouldn't show:
-D -T --verbose
Here's a sample of what it should look like:
Yeah, I put in all the args.
It looked just like your example, until it crashed the GPU driver, then it went crazy.
By the time I could get control back, that's the part I could copy/paste.
However, the problem is CUDA related (from the -n output)
nVidia mining, not ATI mining - in case anyone didn't notice
I did, that's why I suggested the ufasoft miner.
Not having ADL support and not needing failover, since he's mining to localhost, there is not much need to use CGMiner, regardless of where the problem lies.

So unless the nVidia part of cgminer has stopped working, it's probably your drivers are not installed/setup properly
I have no idea how to do that but I'm sure someone else here does?

OK, I'm too tired to do more than point you in a direction, so here goes:
I'm pretty sure the command prompt supports some output redirection, and since the display is obviously screwed, you may want to try it. Just run cgminer with your normal arguments, the debugging ones and "> cgminer-stdout.log 2> cgminer-stderr.log". If that doesn't work, you may need to google how to redirect both stdout and stderr to a file on windows.
Anyway, after that, the contents of the cgminer-stdout.log and cgminer-stderr.log files will hopefully provide some insight into what is going wrong.

Just for the record, I'm now getting 714Mhash out of the 7970 clocked at 1200/1050+5% with default cgminer 2.2.5 settings.
