I just came back to F@h after stopping for the summer. I'm excited about the V7 client but worried because I can't seem to get my GPU working

It will get the same error 5 times fail the work unit then start the proccess over again

I'm running win7 fully updated and catalyst v11.5
The SMP core is running great I'm not sure if that's relevant

Could you please post the system portion of the log? Specifically, I'm looking to see if you are running folding as a service which happens to be incompatible with GPU folding. If that is the case, you need to uninstall and reinstall without running it as a service.

The reason running as a service is disallowed is that Microsoft, as a security measure, does not allow services any access to the video subsystem.

Well I decided to read through all the other posts in the forum category just incase my problem was similar and while it wasn't as far as I can tell I did notice that driver updating seemed to be a pretty common solution so I updated my gpu driver and now it seems to be working fine. Catalyst version 11.5 is apparently not friendly with F@h but 12.8 is. Thanks anyway to P5-133XL

Just in case anyone is curious I'll go ahead and post the config portion of the log

Another possibility: A fully updated version of WindowsXP doesn't necessarily include the FAH prerequisite .net framework 2.0. If you don't have it, you'll probably need to explicitly install and update .net framework 3.5. (I spent a long time trying to find a stand-alone net framework 2.0. It turns out that it's included in 3.5 but Microsoft doesn't clearly spell that out if you try looking for .net framework 2.0.) Neither version 1.1 or version 4.0 meet the requirements.
