I have win 7, HD4670M card, i5 cpu.

I've done soooo much driver sweeping, installing, uninstalling, reinstalling.

Guiminer-Scypt would immediately crash....well technically I would see the guiminer logo in my system tray, but no screen, and then it would close out (confirmed by task manager showing it running, then it just crashes)

I did uninstall all ATI drivers and such....I then installed 12.8 (but the thing is, it didn't install a display driver, I guess because of incompatibility with my card) but it did install the APP SDK.
Now 13.1 and 12.6 both have display driver I can install....I tried both and anytime I install the display driver from 13.1 or 12.6, I get the no screen, guiminer logo in system tray crash.

Thing is if I uninstall the display driver, and I guess let it run stock windows vga driver for my card, guiminer opens up with no issue......but heres the catch, since I have no "real" display driver install, my graphics card is not listed as a opencl available device, although my i5 CPU is listed.

I guess I just have to find the right display driver version for guiminer not to crash and list my graphics card....:-/
