Fixed it!
Opened up AMD Catalyst Install Manager to uninstall the AMD APP but it showed that nothing was installed so I left it alone.
After uninstalling 335.23 and installing 332.21 and reinstalling SVP afterwards, everything worked. I always thought the newer versions would be better (Please excuse my technological ineptitude). Anyways, thanks so much for your help and quick replies. I really appreciate it. smile

TL/DR: 335.23 = bad, 332.21 = good
