Problems Installing Catalyst Driver/SDK

Hi,

I'm working on a Radeon 5870 and I've installed Catalyst Driver 9.12 Hotfix and the StreamSDK v2.0 (on Windows 7). However, when I run the CLInfo program, only my CPU device is reported. When I try running other OpenCL samples, it exits with cannot create context type error. Can someone point out what I'm missing here?

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

Could you please run FindNumDevices sample from samples/cal/bin/x86 and see how many devices it finds?

Thanks, I fixed that error. It was because I was using an NVidia display card and driver, once I removed the card and cleaned the driver, it worked fine.
