Hi,
I am new to folding and I just realized that my graphics card is disabled. I found on the forum that you might be able to help me with this issue here.

Here is the output from fahclient --lspci

The issue is not one of adding the GPU, there is already an entry for it in the GPUs.txt file and it is enabled. However there are two separate issues with your installation and the GPU itself that will keep it from getting assignments. The first can be fixed, the drivers you have installed do not show support for OpenCL. Drivers downloaded from nVidia will include that support, the ones from MS Windows Update do not.

The second issue is that the support requirements for folding have moved on from being able to reliably use Fermi based GPUs such as your GT 540M. Current requirements are support for OpenCL 1.2 or better, this GPU only supports OpenCL 1.1.
