Hey guys, new to Bitcoin mining here.
I got the newest Bitcoin core application installed and got a wallet ID.
I downloaded guiminer and ran guiminer.exe. The icon shows up on the taskbar for a second then disappears.
Windows even logs show the following crash:

Faulting application name: guiminer.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4918019c
Faulting module name: aticfx32.dll, version: 8.17.10.1047, time stamp: 0x4ca29c76
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00025861
Faulting process id: 0x10ec
Faulting application start time: 0x01cc63a3b26607d1
Faulting application path: C:\Users\Nick\Desktop\bitcoin-0.3.24\guiminer\guiminer.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\aticfx32.dll
Report Id: f06c9470-cf96-11e0-8a4f-00508db6d9fb

I'm running a nVidia GTX 570 with the 275.33 WHQL drivers. After getting this crash once, I tried installing the ATI/AMD OpenCL Stream SDK just to see if that would help, but I'm still getting the same thing. Can't get guiminer to launch at all...  :<
