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: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0)

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.

I know this, because also the OPENCL benchmark has same problem

UPDATE: SOLVED!!!

Ok, here is how I solved it:

STEP 1)

• 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

Step 3)
Reinstalled the AMD SDK (found here: http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/)

SUCCESS!!!
