Yes, why not?
It will just run with the same 32bit applications as it does on other Windows systems.

Windows 7 won't run GPU tasks if you install as a service, it hides the GPU and only the person logged in can access the GPU.

But that has nothing to do with Protected Application Execution mode (service install).

The new Nvidia API that BOINC 6.10 uses has a minimum driver set of CUDA 2.2, 185.85.

If your present drivers are below this version, update first.
If your present drivers are below this and they're the last available for your hardware, you cannot update to 6.10; stay at the last 6.6.x version for your OS.

I have Win Ultimate 64 bit and installed the .18 vers.

My Nvida driver seems to be 191.10 .

The application runs and I can see the graphics from inside the application, but I get an error message that says unspecified screen saver error and the screen saver will not run.

Anyone having a similar problem and have any suggestions.
