I'm having a problem. I have many rigs running stable without touching them. However, when I start playing around and remote desktop-ing into them, the display driver for the primary card (GPU 0 when I use --gpu-reorder in cgminer) crashes, and the card goes SICK.

It's not a 100% reliable correlation, but when I leave them alone, the drivers run stable.

I'm using Windows 7 32 bit, AMD 13.4 drivers, and TightVNC 2.7.

Anyone else experience this?

I think this "crash" might be unrelated to VNC.  I've been using VNC for a while. Exactly with the versions you specified (except I run 64 bit version of Windows) without any problems.
It is probably your setup.  ADL, CL works without any problems.

When CL fails, cgminer has hard time restarting it.  Sometimes re-initializing OpenCL library does not work and cgminer fails to recover. Unloading and re-loading openCL DLL within cgminer might work, but I don't think cgminer is doing that.  So your best bet is to restart cgminer manually or use an external process to do it.  This reloads everything.
