Cool, I'm glad it works ; )

Yep, just checked SkyNet's solution, should have worked also.
Except 2.7 SDK weights 149MB and OpenCL runtime is named 'OpenCL-CPU.msi' there.

Btw, have you installed Catalyst also?

Oh yeah.

Sadly i have just realised that the first poster, Skynet, posted a solution to my problem.
However, I was unable to execute the solution without instruction and it resulted in a failure

+in "\AMD\AMD_Catalyst_13.6_Beta2\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF\B157935\" directory I've also found

amd_opencl32.dll
amd_opencl64.dll

but I bet it's just renamed OpenCL.dll
anyway if you notice them somewhere(System32/Syswow64 probably) - delete them also.

Yuppers, Also, I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER!, Please post your BTC addr, I will send them by tommorrow after i have done a 12 hour test, Right meow i am gaming and mining happily.
You seemed to have solved my issue

THANKYOU SO VERYMUCH

hey, w8, so.. what was the solution? : D
U've deleted OpenCL installed automatically with the 13.6 driver and then installed older OpenCL, Grin

My BTC addr. is in my sig.

Yes, I installed 13.6, Display Driver, Then i manually deleted the OpenCL.dll and AMDocl.dll from both syswow64 and system32, Then installed Open CL via the 12.8 .dll's that i "grabbed" before running the Cleanup utility.

Wooo! BF3 @ 48fps and 120mh/s on a 7950? Fuck Yeah! (Max settings aside from AAx2 and Shadows at high aswell as SSAO instead of HBAO, Reason is the "Grid" that you see when its enabled)
Core 1000 mem 1375
Sorry about not paying you on time, I'll send the funds quite shortly and when i do i'll post the TX log.
I deeply thankyou for solving my problem, aswell as I thankyou dearly for caring about fixing a problem that doesnt belong to you.
Thankyou so very, Very much

Ok, so unpacked OpenCL.msi from 13.1 driver looks like this -

"/program files/AMD APP/bin/x86_64/"
amdocl_as.exe
amdocl_ld.exe

"/System32/"
amdocl.dll
OpenCL.dll
OpenVideo.dll
OVDecode.dll
SlotMaximizerAg.dll
SlotMaximizerBe.dll

"/System64/"
amdocl64.dll
OpenCL.dll
OpenVideo64.dll
OVDecode64.dll
SlotMaximizerAg.dll
SlotMaximizerBe.dll
clinfo.exe

So.. find them and delete them.
After deleting run Ccleaner -> Registry, run it several times until it won't find any 'issues', this will de-register OpenCL from Windows.
To confirm, run GPU-Z, it should launch and report no OpenCL installed.

Now you can install the 'old' OpenCL.

I sense manual removal of Opencl )))

Gonna do that... Meow...
Just tested the current installation, and computer is acting "sticky" and mining crashes while gaming.
Gonna delete the OpenCL.dll files... Make SURE that they are gone, Then try to run the 12.8 installer for it's SDK

w8, dont run any installer yet ; )

I'd like to have the CCC installed so that i can control desktop colour/gamma/contrast/brightness

Hm. This requirement changes things a lot.
Lets first check if you will be able to play and mine without Catalyst and then figure out how to make it with Catalyst or find a way to control colour/gamma/constast without Catalyst, ok?

Sounds good to me.
Im back after installing the 13.6 DISPLAY DRIVER via Device manager->browse and GPU-Z shows that OpenCL is ticked. It was not ticked when it drivers were "cleaned up"

This means that 13.4+ even with manual install it installs OpenCL anyway.. not good.
Ok. Can you launch cgminer, check runtime version, install older OpenCL and check version in cgminer again?

So im here after rebooting, And im just noticing that now SDK's are not even freaking mentioned in either the 13.4 or 13.6 driver setup files. Where is it hidden in? I'd like to have the CCC installed so that i can control desktop colour/gamma/contrast/brightness

Please stop calling it SDK ; )
And, as I've mentioned earlier, starting from 13.4 it is embedded in the driver, so the files are in
AMD\Support\13-4_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF\B155215\
but there is no msi installer, so u can't install it manually(without some mess).

Btw, if after cleanup Windows still will detect "AMD Radeon" video card, then either Windows is using update or amd cleanup util screwed up.
In this case go to device manager and uninstall the driver manually and tick "delete driver files"

Might be a good idea to run CCleaner after u finish with AMD cleanup.

Also, u might want to check if exists and delete following -
"Program Files (x86)/AMD APP"
Windows/System32(+SysWOW64)/OpenCL*.*
I usually also delete amd*.* and ati*.* - but this can cause issues if system has some other AMD/ATI hardware.

I'd rather
0) disable windows to install drivers from auto-update(Control Panel->System->Advanced System Settings->Hardware->Windows Update Driver Settings)
1) run amd_cleanup_util_1.2.1.0.exe and reboot
2) install driver manually, c.panel->system->device manager->ur gpu->right click->update->browse->pick from a list->have disk-> \AMD\Support\12-6_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_whql\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\->ok
3) launch GPU-Z and verify that there is no OpenCL ticked
4) install OpenCL

On step 4, Install from where? the 12.8 setup? or the 12.8's setup files?

\AMD\Support\12-6_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_whql\Packages\Apps\OpenCL64\OpenCL.msi

Running the Cleanup Now!
