hey guys, i have installed boinc as a protected app, and installed the new drivers, why does boinc not see my geforce 8600?

With Windows Vista and above you should NOT install BOINC as a service (protected application execution) or else BOINC is unable to load the drivers that show it the CUDA card.

So you have to uninstall BOINC, reinstall it and on the 3rd screen click Advanced and untick the protected application execution option. You may also want to read the message there then that warns you about this effect.

ah ok, is there any way to keep boinc from popping up when i do that?

HI all,
Now that the the upload server is taking my backlog, I am trying to find out why there is no CUDA work being given to me? My message board shows that my CUDA device is present, and I have checked the box under preferences to get GPU work. Any insight?
