Hangs on Initializing GPU accelerated ......

Win 7/64
Intel i5-2500K @ 3.30 GHz
8 gig ram
Radeon HD 5750
CCC 13.1
MSP v12 (DVD 334, updated to 1184)
QT 12.6

I've been using MSP for a while with no problems. Three days ago while experimenting with a small clip (2 min) trying different FX and transitions it started blacking out on preview and a warning that video drivers had stopped working. I was running AMD CCC 12.3 so updated to 13.4. I opened MSP and started the same clip and it froze after 3 seconds and stayed hung. After nothing changed for quite a while I tried to close the program and ended up doing a forced restart. Since then MSP hangs on splash screen at "Initializing GPU Accelerated video processing. I've done quite a few clean uninstall/install of MSP and no change. I reverted CCC back to 12.3 and then to 13.1 with no change. I've deleted Visuals c++ and reinstalled as recommended but no change. I sent an email to Sony and got the link to the "Microsoft Visual C++" in KB but I had already tried that. It seems there is still some kind of "link" to that small clip that gave the trouble and is not being deleted on uninstall. If I go into Appdata and check the install log for MSP, it says successful but if I try to open an MP4 file with MSP it says I must first install using DVD or download. I did try creating another user account w/admin rights and install MSP again but that didn't work either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I thought I'd post a follow up to this. After 5 days of trying everything I could think of with no help from Sony and almost on the verge of doing a clean OS install which I didn't think would be worth it, I finally got MSP 12 to load. I went to AMD and downloaded CCC 12.3 (which has worked good for over a year), installed it and MSP would not load past splash screen. I went back to AMD and downloaded CCC 13.1, installed it and MSP would not load. I went back to AMD and downloaded CCC 13.4, installed it and MSP loaded. I immediately went to preferences and turned of GPU and ran the same clip as before and it worked fine. CCC 13.4 is the drivers that caused the crash in the first place. I still don't understand why they work and the ones I've used for over a year no longer work. Now I'll always be leery of turning on GPU for anything. ????????
