OpenCL GPU is not supported on this platform. Bye.....what????

[Nov8tr]

I have a ATI 5850. I am running Windows 7 with all updates. I have the newest ATI drivers 9.12 which is suppose to have openCL and direct compute support according AMD. But when I attempt to run any of the openGL 3.0 or openCL test I get the message "OpenCL GPU is not supported on this platform. Bye", and the test will not run. Unless I'm wrong, Windows 7 is openGL 3.0 and openCL capable. My ATI 5850 is openGL 3.0 and openCL capable. The ATI 9.12 drivers from 12/18/2009 are openGL 3.0 and openCL capable. So just what platform is this test talking about? My entire system is capable of openGL 3.0 and openCL and Direct Compute. I'm a little lost here, why do these test refuse to run? BTW I have updated my system info to your site using the GPU Caps Viewer program. I sure would appreciate any help I can get, thanks.

Installing the 9.12 hotfix didn't help me either...
running win7, 64bit @ 4870

Installing ati stream sdk 2.0 makes GPUCV detect OpenCL, but there's a new problem: OpenCL demos won't run.

Any demo with GPU OpenCL in it gives the following error message and aborts: OpenCL context: found 0 OpenCL GPU device. Bye...

CPU OpenCL demos also abort, the error is: OpenCL Context (CPU/GPU): found 0 OpenCL CPU device. Bye...

These errors are preceded with an error message:

This OpenCL demo has the GL interop option enabled.
Your GPU/CPU doesn't support GL interop.
GL interop is disabled.
