What is wrong now?
Rob.B:
I am trying to set up op app for gpu on 6.6.20 (as you know I think is is "poor" in the dept of user freindliness, and usability). So what's wrong? IT WON'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!!!!!
I'm thinking of defecting to GPUGRID and ABC@home now I have my 1,000,000 seti cobblestones up, although I wuld like to see my 1- years up.
Vista Ultimate.
4Gb ram
Penom x4 (series 1) processor
Nvidia 9800 GTX+
Nvidia 9400 GT
Rubbish 6.6.20 install! (howabout validating the xml files on startup to give a clue? Sorry forgot that suggestion may be helpfull, not a Boinc trait)

You missed one entry mod [That I can see]. (Highlight in Orange) Have you considered trying the Lunatics' Beta Installer out?, nothing prevents customisation after install. [e.g. for adding <flops> lines]

Richard Haselgrove:
Jason is right - the two references for the CUDA executable must match: either the stock app both times, or Raistmer's v11 mod both times, but not one of each.
Wasn't a missing application flagged at startup? Posting the initial message log lines would have been useful.
Once app_info is sorted, the other thing which could be causing problems is long-term debt. If you have any showing (look at the new 'properties' page for the project, and the line for 'work fetch priority' - it's more user-friendly than groping through client_state.xml), you should zero it - that's just a one-time operation when upgrading from v6.4.v to v6.6.x
Rob.B:
Fine my mistake, but why two? I work in IT and I find this app "hostile", It's as if the powers that be don't want folks to use Opapps. I'm not new to Op apps but I find this family or releases unhelpful to "Joe public user".
Thanks for the correction.
Rob.B:
OK made the change, now it's done and deleted cudart,dll et-all. What is it with this app, has it got something agianst me or what?
