just another newbie trying to pick himself up off the ground.
i've got a AMD phenom II X4 965 cpu
and a msi ati radeon hd 5970 (2gb)

using guiminer v2011-07-01
with bitcoin

i set it up to the best of my knowledge running with my cpu only
i have consistently gotten the "Verification Failed, Check Hardware" error

not sure whats wrong and guides are running out of help

trying to connect to api2.bitcoin.cz:8332
under the device tab, my gpu doesnt show up, but thats a problem for later.

thanks
