I don't think you're done any stock CPU work, so you haven't got the CPU app,
and so haven't got it mentioned in your client_state.xml,
get some CPU work from the project and try again, try suspending any other CPU projects first,
then check your Setiathome project preferences to see if you're allowing CPU work.

RIght-o. All the work I see from this PC in "valid" is GPU completions. I run a number of PCs all of which, except for this one, have CPU work. I don't know how to tell the project  to "send me some CPU work" as opposed to "send me some work". Is there a way to do that?

And, I wonder why the CPU app wasn't installed by BOINC to start with. This PC is a XP 64 bit which is the first 64 bit machine I've used, could that have something to do with it?

Thanks!

As i said above, try suspending any other projects on that PC, Boinc should immediately start asking for CPU work,
you can tell by looking in the messages tab what type of work Boinc is asking for,
If it doesn't ask for CPU work, Check your Setiathome project preferences to see if you're allowing CPU work,
Make sure that your PC is set to the same venue as your setiathome preferences.

I did and it didn't on that PC. It immediately downloaded a bunch of only CUDA work. And I repeat I have several PCs this is the only one not getting lots of CPU work. It is a new PC with a hardly used XP x64 install. There's nothing on seti or boinc prefs on the PC that would prevent receiving CPU work that I know of but just in case I used the "Clear" button. Well I dont know, just let er go I guess. Probably turn SETI off on that PC because the GPU WU take forever using the stock app.
Thanks

Edit: I don't understand "...same venue..." what is that? I just logged the PC onto my account at BOINC (BAM) no different than the others, BOINC did (or in this case didn't do) the rest.

You can set your PC's to 4 different venues, 'Default', 'Home', 'School', or 'Work',
meaning you can have 4 different preferences for 4 different sets of PC's, eg, 1 day cache on default, 3 day on Home, 7 day on school, 10 day on work,
and you can set 4 different sets of project preferences too, e.g, no CPU at default, no GPU at home, neither at school, both at work,
and you could have different apps set to each venue too,
Note: you've got to have Boinc 6.10.19 or later for the CPU/GPU preferences to work properly.
