Thanks to a modded driver version by Dellon over at guru3d. My win7 machine is now running the latest driver. Unfortunately the boinc scheduler is not smart enough to run the opencl apps only on the HD5550. Any it tries to run on the integrated HD3000 will and do fail. So I am sorry for the extra strain on the server.
I've done all I can, and just wanted to say sorry.

don't give up, there is a way to do that with a cc_config.xml, and it is easy.
I do not know it by brain and I'm out for 3 days, but when I come back I can post that.
I have used it for MW when I used a system with one DP and one SP GPU, had the same effects.

Not, giving up. Just saying sorry for the extra strain. I've done all I know how to due at the moment.

Well, the client is smart enough - you just have to tell it what you want :-).
Alex is right - it's quite easy. If you google 'boinc client configuration' you can find the BOINC Wiki page on client configuration. You will see all the 'Logging Flags' and 'Options' that are available to allow you to modify the default behaviour.
You don't need to worry about logging flags so you can ignore them. You just need to create a cc_config.xml (the instructions tell you how) with an .... section which contains just the single option 'N' where you set N to be the device number you want to ignore. From your log snippet, you can see N should be 1.
So go ahead, read the instructions carefully and then create and deploy your very own cc_config.xml.
Cheers,
Gary.

Or you can use the config option to exclude the GPU from using the BRP4 app (so the GPU is still available for use on other projects):

RE: Supported are OpenCL

This project supports OpenCL 1.1 capable GPUs, meaning the 5xxx and above.
OpenCL 1.0 capable GPUs, being the 3xxx and 4xxx are not supported, due to incompatible work group size.

HD5xxx is working fine here @ Einstein; I have 2 of them doing their jobs.

Well it turns out that after my first post, that the modded 12.11 driver was only working on the integrated HD3000, which is what it was for. The HD5550 was still running under 11.5. After fighting with the drivers for a day and a half, can actually now say that BOTH GPUs are running the current 12.11 beta driver. I have also dugged thru the client state xml and excluded the HD3000 from running any opencl apps, it works perfectly for running Collatz units. Have turned on the coproc and work fetch flags, just to make sure the exclude device is working correctly.
RE: ..the client state xml
)
You don't do that from the client_state.xml, actually you don't do anything from the client_state.xml. It's not that it's a file you shouldn't look into, but it is also not a file you want to go change much in as it is the file that holds a record of all the tasks presently on your system.
To reiterate, any commands you want to give the BOINC client on which GPU to use and which not, must be done through the core client configuration file, the cc_config.xml file. This is done by adding the proper line, or the lines. Not by hand-editing any of the other xml files in your data directory.
You probably edited the right file, but mentioned it wrong in your post. I am just here to make sure that the next person reading here --but too afraid to ask-- is not thinking that the solution to his problem is in the client_state.xml file. As it isn't.
