Problem getting new tasks

About a week ago I started to get 5 tasks (noted as lost tasks being resent). I then get an error message indicating missing coprocessor.

At first I get a message: app version needs open CL but GPU doesn't support it.


before the error message I get: App version uses noexisten ATI GPU.

I have been running this application using 3-4 of my processors 24 hours a day since I got this machine a few years ago. I continue to depleat my available list of tasks (now down from 5 screens of tasks to about 1, and will soon have nothing to process. I do not know of any changes I have made that might cause this to happen.

I am on a Windows 7 desktop and enjoy this function, but don't know how I can continue if I only get these 5 missing tasks and nothing else anymore.

Can anyone help me with this please. Only though I have now is to delete BOINC totally from my machine and re-install. I did reinstall this morning, but did not delete and am still getting the same issue. Is there a possible download of a GPU that would let me move forward if I install?

Any help is appreciated.

Keep in mind, Ian, that at present no new work is being split. Only work going out are reissues and possibly some ghosted tasks. We don't know how long it will be before the database is cleared out enough that they shall consider starting to split new work.

Probably 6 days at the earliest. Depending on their holiday schedule.

AMD has deprecated OpenCL support for XP from Cat 12.2 drivers, so the last Catalyst drivers you can use is Cat 12.1

I am running catalyst 12.11 and had to download the sreaming sdk from amd to get the opencl based clients to work. amd is distenceing itself from opencl now that nvidia supports it I guess that we need to let amd know we use this so they will put it back and maybe we can get them to help in the writing of client as well if enough pressure can be brought to bare.

AMD has laid off 15% of their workforce, i doubt you'd be able to convince them to start supporting a 10 year old OS again, they are still supporting OpenCL on Win Vista, 7 and 8,

Also in April 2013(if I'm remembering correctly) Microsoft stops all support for XP even for critical bugs. No more patches of any type for Win XP. So AMD stopping XP active support is not so strange.

Extended support ends April 2014. They have been cutting support for it for some time now. Recently they removed the ability to obtain a WHQL logo for drivers for XP, also Vista. if anyone cared.

Also AMD isn't moving away from OpenCL. They simply made the choice to stop developing it for XP.
OpenCL support is supported in newer OS's. IIRC 12.2 & 12.3 can be used but you have to install 12.1 first.
