Complete v6.41 Fermi client for download?

[7im]

It would seem prudent to have the v6.41 Fermi Console client available as a complete download. How many potential folders are lost when the first thing they download hasn't got a chance of working? A few come here and get help, some go to a team forum to get help, many more just give up.

Mark Friedrichs from Pande Group acted quickly to resolve this. The download page now has a console client link to a .zip file with the v6.41 executable, and the needed .dll files.

Thanks to all who helped accomplish this update.

Very good! One less item on the troubleshooting checklist.

[RonnyB]

Thanks,

I am back from the long weekend and was pleased to see the reference to the new Fermi Console 641 zip file on the downloads page.

However, after downloading, unzipping and configuring the console client ... I still have exactly the same problem as I described earlier in this thread !!

This is a new hardware build with all new parts. Could it be a hardware/Fermi (Evga GTS450) problem ??

What drivers are you running?

Post FAHlog please.

[RonnyB]

Evga GTS450 driver is 8.17.12.7061

Here is the recent FAHlog.txt

You need to update the drivers. The 266.58 drivers work best.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvi ... river.html

[RonnyB]

But I am using (and quoted earlier in the thread) the latest in Fermi drivers ... the v270.61 .... ??!!

[Amaruk]

Nvidia driver 270.51 & 270.61 break FAH

[RonnyB]

Thanks for the thread link.

I have no other diver version on this new machine so I guess I have to scrub out v270.61

Is something like DriverCleaner Pro needed?

[PantherX]

I prefer to use Driver Sweeper which is freeware (http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/).

[RonnyB]

OK, I scrubbed out v270.61 and put in 266.58 ... and suddenly I could fold with my GTS450 !!

[PantherX]

It's possible that Project: 6806 (Run 8000, Clone 2, Gen 15) might be bad WU...
