But, my graphics card is now idle. Five AP WU are running, two at half speed.
Did I miss an update somewhere in these 15 pages of posts?
Conditions:
XP SP3
Q6600 processor
<cc_config>
<options>
<save_stats_days>120</save_stats_days>
<ncpus>5</ncpus>
</options>
</cc_config>
number_of_gpu = 1
NX8500GT GPU
V10 installed.

I found V10b executable update on page 6 of this thread, installed and restarted the service. There was no change...my GPU remains idle. What do I need to do?
Thanks
Art

Hi Art, good to know finally it worked. :) For the idle graphic card: this is usual as AP WUs will not be calculated using the graphic card. Do you have any setiathome enhanced WUs in your cache? Guess the right host is this one, with AP WUs only downloaded for any reason.
In case you have no setiathome enhanced WUs cached, please check in your preferences, if setiathome enhanced is enabled or not. Once there, check as well, if the graphic card is allowed to be used.
Your cc_config and number_of_gpu files are looking fine.
Cheers,
yodi

All SETI work sources are checked and GPU enabled in prefs. But still no SETI WU downloaded. Raistmer suggested it is because I have AP checked, that SETI would then prefer to download only AP WU. I also asked why only 4 or 5 AP WU in queue, when I have 10 days in preferences. Four or 5 WU in queue is only enough for a half day.
At any rate this PC has nothing but AP in SETI queue. It is good to know that I cannot expect GPU activity with only AP WU, so now I can go back to sleep :-)
Thanks

It has been mentioned on the Seti Boards that quite a few people are only getting Astropulse_v5, myself being one of them,
My Laptop not having any multibeam since sometime in February, to overcome it you could try deselecting astropulse and astropulse_v5 in your preferences,
and select 'If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?' to yes,
It'll mean you'll ask for Multibeam work and if there's none, then you'll get Astropulse, and if you still get too much Astropulse,
then deselect it untill you do need it again.

Inside the number of gpus file you have to put your gpu type also other then the number of gpus.
Thank you
