For manual removing try the following (for 64-bit OS, I guess it's easy to convert to 32-bit one): - delete folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\1.5 - delete environment variable INTELOCLSDKROOT - edit PATH environment variable to remove the path(s) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\1.5\bin\x86|x64 - delete registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intel\OpenCL If you don't have any other OpenCL platforms installed you may also remove: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenCL\Vendors HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Khronos\OpenCL\Vendors c:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll c:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll

You can remove the following registry keys to rectify the crash:

For 64-bit systems:

HKLM\Software\Khronos\OpenCL\Vendors [IntelOpenCL64.dll]

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Khronos\OpenCL\Vendors [IntelOpenCL32.dll]

or for 32-bit systems

HKLM\Software\Khronos\OpenCL\Vendors [IntelOpenCL32.dll]
