At last the ' right' driver and CUDA 2.3 DLL's, BOINC

Anybody seeing what I'm doing wrong? And what ' start-tag'?

Why don't you post the contents of your cc_config.xml file?
And how did you save it, the last time you edited it? As ANSI, Unicode or UTF-8? best is to save it as ANSI.

Wel stupid, (too long behind the PC), anyway here it is:

<CC_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
<log_flags>
<coproc_debug>1</coproc_debug>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
</log_flags>
</CC_config>

Also put log_flags first, but that changed nothing. Stopt and started BOINC, even REBOOTED.
[color=darkblue]And made it with 'kladblok' (notepad) , saved it as ANSI, right
., the same way I made an app_info.xml for SSSE3x MB WU's .

Might not be it, but try to use all lower case everywhere in the cc_config.xml file. Which means you start with <cc_config> and end with </cc_config>

And as I said, save as ANSI, not as Unicode or UTF-8
You have that option in the Save As.. (Opslaan als...) menu in Notepad (bottom of the menu window).

You can always completely delete the file and make it anew. As far as I know it doesn't matter what order the contents are in, log_flags first or options first, as long as you end them correctly, before starting the next section.

Eitted it, probably, the same time, you responded :), it's above!

And it ' belongs in BOINC Data, there are more xml-files, like client_state.xml and a lot more.

I'll just try again, anyway, thanks Jord.

Hi, well it works, both were recognized, only the GT250, was used, not the 9800GTX+ ( the same G92 chip), (1GB DDR3).
It's shader/memory/core frequency is a bit lower, then the GTX.
BOINC, immediatly responded, with project has no jobs available and 15 second later it gets 9 tasks then 6, then 3, then 6.

It was probably/maybe, I spelled the name not correct, CC_config, should be cc_config.xml, indeed, no capitals.
[color=red]No, I'm fully aware that in config-files should be no non-alphabethic signs, !?/|\.[color]

Glad you got it working. Finicky things, those computers. :)

Btw, '/' is used in cc_config.xml in the end tags.
