Hey there, just found out about Bitcoins today and figured I would mine since my computer is usually on 75% of the day anyway.

My gpu is a Sapphire Radeon HD 6950, which comes up as Cayman

• . (I'm guessing that's the product's code name.)

I'm currently using guiminer but am having some connection issues... Whenever I try to connect to any pool (using a worker user name and password from the site of course) it gives this error:

Running command: poclbm.exe --user=xxx --pass=xxx -o deepbit.net -p 8332 -d0 --verbose
Listener for "Default" started
Listener for "Default": Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platforms found, use --platform to select one of the following
Listener for "Default":

•    AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

Listener for "Default": [1]   ATI Stream

I tried adding -platform and -platform 0 as flags but it did little to help, any suggestions?

Also looking for recommendations for which pools are the best and what flags make my gpu run most efficiently.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: After reviewing my post, I've come to realize that [*0] (without the *) comes up as this weird symbol:
