Please help. I am getting the following message after just upgrading to BOINC 6.6.28 '22/05/2009 10:09:17 a.m. SETI@home Message from server: Can't use CUDA app for SETI@home Enhanced: Your CUDA device has the wrong driver version' I run Windows XP.
I have got two Astropulse WU running OK right now, but I am getting messages saying no work available and I wonder if this CUDA message is the cause of the problem?

The servers are short of Astropulse work units at the moment. Your CUDA error has nothing to do with this. The CUDA error is exactly what it says: your driver is too old. You are running 169.21. Upgrade to 182.50 or 185.85.
