Cool :) ... what did you change?

Rename aticfx32.dll to aticfx32_temp.dll and aticfx64.dll to aticfx64_temp.dll in System32 and SysWOW64 folders,

Today I had possibility to install Win7 x64 on host with dual PCIe slots.
Now it holds GSO9600 in first slot and HD4870 in another one.
But BOINC sees only first (NV) GPU.
What I already done:
1) attached monitor to both GPUs. I checked, both GPUs show desktop OK, Catalyst manager can be invoked (if ATI GPU connected to monitor too), that is, both GPUs work OK.
2) Installed latest drivers. 260.99 for NV and Cat 10.10 for ATi
3) added <use_all_gpus> option to cc_config. But this step is optional BOINC not only doesn;t use secondary GPU, it just doesn't see it (only GPU0 listed in message tab at startup).
BOINC 6.10.58 x64, running under user account (not service).
Any suggestions what it could be ? How to enable both GPUs for BOINC under Win7 x64, what I missed ?

Only way I can get Boinc to see and use both my NV and ATI cards is by having the ATI in slot 0 and the NV in slot 1
also had issues with PhysX being installed when I first built this config so haven't tried with that again?
Raistmer:
:( Until next week I have only remote access to that host....
I hoped some software-only changes are possible...

Before you do anything, try an offline run with an ATI app, if app crashes, try the fix in my last post.
