Ok I solved the problem!!!! I had Windows service pack 2.. updated it to 3 and now all works fine Smiley
That's an interesting one I hadn't heard of before. I just had a SP2 system I put a 5830 in, but it didn't do anything with it until I installed every update and ran four different malware scanners on it.

This is driving me nuts.. It's still not working deleted all ATI software and went into BIOS to set main to PCI-E.
Also only installed the drivers from that link.

I have no clue what the problem is..

I have also all the time the screen plugged in the GPU it self.

If you have the 11.11 drivers currently installed (to avoid more reboots), you can send me a Windows XP remote assistance invitation, and I'll take a look at what's up on that PC.

my email address is in a PM I'm sending now.

Thanks for your reply mate will look into that tomorrow!

Don't worry.  I thought I was fairly proficient with computers until I learned about Bitcoin and tried to start mining.  It took me between 3-10 hours to get myself up and running (depending on if you take into account all the Bitcoin research I did immediately prior to setting up my miner).

This stuff isn't easy, and anybody on this forum who claims that it's easy lives in a bubble.

The steps I took:
1. Uninstall all ATI software including other SDKs
2. Restart
3. Insert the driver CD installed the driver
4. Restart
5. Download that ATI Catalyst 11.11c for windows XP
6. Installed it
7. Restart
8. Tryed to launch GUIminer
You made up step #3! The linked download IS the driver, whatever is on the CD is going to be years old, and is what you were uninstalling. When you restart after uninstalling the old drivers and get the wizard prompts, you just need to cancel them.

One thing that is so obvious to most but may have been missed: disable the onboard video in the BIOS (Advanced->Primary Graphics Adapter->PCI Express). Plug the monitor into the GPU card, not the motherboard.

I hesitate to post this, since it has even more steps, but if you still have problems, here's a post I made about how to clean up all your old ATI stuff and fix your driver install: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.745198 install the XP driver I linked above instead of the Windows 7 driver.

Ok this is odd..

1. Uninstall all ATI software including other SDKs
2. Restart
3. Insert the driver CD installed the driver
4. Restart
5. Download that ATI Catalyst 11.11c for windows XP
6. Installed it
7. Restart
8. Tryed to launch GUIminer

AGAIN error that there are no openCL devices..

How can this happen.. I installed this card while ago in another system there it worked fine with GUIminer..

Does that download support windows XP?
As the file name implies, that is ATI Catalyst 11.11c for Vista and Windows 7; here is the link to the Windows XP driver (which includes SDK 2.5 and is all you need): http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/catalyst_11.11_hotfixes/amd_catalyst_11.11c_windows_xp.exe

"Uninstall first" also means uninstalling all other ATI software including any other SDKs, which may only have uninstall links in the start menu, not in the control panel "add or remove programs".

After installing, your GPU is normally the first OpenCL device, but if you have onboard video + a compatible CPU, the GPU card might be OpenCL device 0, 1, or 2, which you will need to specify in the miner.

Uninstall ALL ATI software, restart.
Install http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/catalyst_11.11_hotfixes/amd_catalyst_11.11c_windows_vista_7.exe
Restart.

That should do it, anything else is a problem with how you are using Guiminer, such as selecting the proper GPU and mining kernel.

Yes I'm pretty sure about that.. Check the screen picture.

That has nothing to do with OpenCL.   That is .NET.   Smiley

Look over on the upper right on GPU-Z where OpenCL is unchecked.  You don't have ANY OpenCL SKD/runtime installed.


You can get it as part of drivers or separately from AMD website.  You don't want SDK 2.6.  That means don't install drivers (until you learn how to only install driver not SDK) 11.12 or higher.

Gonna try that again now. Should I after deleting them download the latest drivers from the internet? Or should I start installing from CD and then update?
