Can not run OpenCL samples on Core2 Duo system

I am trying to get the v2.1 SDK running on my Thinkpad T60p (windows XP 32 bit).  It has an ATI Mobility FireGL V5250, and the setup for the OpenCL SDK points out that it will not allow GPU contexts, but CPU contexts will work.

But when I try to actually run the samples they don't work.  CLInfo does this:

clinfo

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

And all of the other examples fail similarly to this:

nbody
Error: clGetPlatformIDs failed. Error code : unknown error code

I have tried reinstalling the video driver and the SDK and it still fails.  Anyone have any clues?

I know I've had a previous version of the Stream SDK/OpenCL beta working on this machine before.  What's the procedure to remove ALL affected components and start over?  I tried uninstalling the Stream SDK and all of its parts, AND going into the device manager and uninstalling the video driver, then reinstalling the latest ATI driver for my laptop from the Lenovo site, then putting down Stream SDK 2.1, and still no dice.

Did you run the pre-built binaries came with SDK? or compiled and ran the samples? 

Which version of Visual Studion are you using?

Ensure that there are no leftovers from previous installation. Also make sure that the executable is picking the correct dlls.(You can use a 3rd party app like Depends).

Thanks for the reply!  I have only tried to run the prebuilt exes.  I use Visual Studio 2008 for stuff, but I haven't tried to use it with my Thinkpad + OpenCL yet.  I was hoping that the prebuilt binaries would help me validate my install.

It's picking up Opencl.dll from C:\windows\system32.  If I delete that file, then it works, by finding opencl.dll in C:\program files\ati stream\bin, but reports that it is v2.0.0.  If I erase that file, then reinstall v2.1 of the SDK, the cl programs fail as before.

The correct location for SDK 2.1 dll is C:\windows\system32. Could you delete all the files from "C:\program files\ati stream\" and reinstall the SDK. Also could you try compiling the samples(its fairly straightforward) and let me know what is the behavior?

Ok, I removed ALL ATI products from my system using the control panel thingie, went into Program Files\ and manually removed the ATI Stream directory that was still there, edited the Path variable to remove all ATI references that were still hanging around, and rebooted as a VGA machine.

Then I verified that the ATI stuff was all gone still.

Then I reinstalled the Lenovo ATI driver and rebooted. Now I have my nice high resolution super awesome FireGL V5250 back (yes I know GPU contexts are not supported...I am just trying to get CPU working again).  It is Catalyst Version 2009.0929.1443.24574.

Should I proceed and install the Stream SDK V2.1 again?

You don't require display drivers to run OpenCL on CPU. 

What is the behavior now? Ideally, you should not be having any problems.

If it still doesn't work, try to compile and run the samples.

Awesome...success!  Apparently I had old stuff lying around.  And even though I completely uninstalled everything and manually looked for extra stuff to delete, when the Stream Analyzer installed it still thought it was a "Modify/Repair/Unistall" request.  So I let it "Modify"

And now it works again!  BTW, why don't I get image support?
