I've been doing good work on GPU some time and for a while no work coming through.
Any ideas?
Client will get CPU work but I don't normally run these.

Mod edit: added Code tags to log file

You have the Beta flag set. Support for that is only available in the beta forum. Are you a beta team member? If so, post there. If not, remove the beta flag (which may well solve your problem).

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2016 3:29 pm**

Thanks. It had been running with beta set for ages -though I'm not in a beta group.
I removed the beta flag to no avail, anyway.
PS: I can't remember the code tag thing -s so long since posted & no help found on it.

I see a couple of possibilities.
1) Did you install the drivers from nVida or the ones provided by Microsoft?
2) There are some limitations associated with Windows XP. I don't remember the details -- maybe somebody can help with them.

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2016 4:28 pm**

I've tried both- current one is MS approved.
I suspect work has dried up -or policy change has been set.
I know there's little info provided direct when these thing occur.
I've moved to Boinc F/time anyway, in the meantime.

Code tags are available using the Full Editor to post. Also mentioned in the directions for log posting included in the Welcome to the Forum topic - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=26036.

Yes- I got it- should be applied now.
BTW I downloaded CPU work ok- so not a comms issue.

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2016 5:06 pm**

The newest GPU core, Core 21, isn't assigned to Windows XP 32 bit, IIRC. And there is limited availability of the older GPU core projects as they finish and get replaced by Core 21.

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2016 1:18 am**

Microsoft quit supporting WindowsXP in 2009 though limited support was extended to 2014. The components which were released during the support period still work but components issued after support was discontinued may not.

Inexpensive copies of WIndows 7 are available from many sources or you can upgrade to later versions -- and Linux is free but generally expects more advanced knowledge.

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2016 4:54 am**

Yes, that makes sense. I'm not keen to upgrade whole system just to keep folding, tbh. All add ons will need upgrading at some cost.
Boinc projects are not trouble free with driver problems- but seems more stable -o I can carry on doing folding medical research etc on there.
If you find a way to deal with this XP incompatibility, please let me know in the future.
I can take a break after 8 years F@H.

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2016 4:55 pm**

CPU folding will continue on XP for a while. GPU folding on XP is almost done. IMO.

It does seem, by inspection, that the two WS called up above are not showing any work available on their page.
I seem to remeber seeing the cores listed in the past -but can't see this now.

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2016 8:22 pm**

The only servers shown up above are Assignment Servers, not WS. They never supply the actual WU's, just read your assignment request and connect the client to a matching WS. If they do not make a match due to a WS with appropriate projects either being down, out of WU's or the projects are complete, then they cause that "Empty work server assignment" message.

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2016 8:39 pm**

This is the attempted WS but can't determine the Core from this.

Is this possible to find out?

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2016 8:57 pm**

What is the IP number of the WS you think your client tried to connect to? The IP numbers of the WS being used are listed for every project on the Project Summary page, from that which core(s) are potentially used can be determined.
