I am using the Systray version in 32 bit Vista, you may be using some other version. When I put the cursor over the molecule in the Systray I see GPU - F@H: Working ( 3600/10000) If you see something with similar numbers it is working. If you use the Systray version and right click on the molecule, status, Log file you can see how fast it is thinking.

Open the log file as suggested, and post the contents here so we can see what is going on, and help diagnose the problem. It would also help if you described your hardware, drivers, OS, etc.

Welcome to the folding forum, chin85u.

Specifically what version of the ATI drivers do you have? "Latest drivers" can be rather vague. Were these drivers updated from a previous version? If so, did you use something like DriverCleaner?

Have you set any Environment Variables?

The ATI code is in the midst of some pretty rapid changes, which is why the client is called beta, so it's not quite as simple as it should be.
