Same answer as before:

When your HD4350/4550 was crunching AP successfully it was on CAL driver 1.4.1734 and APP runtime 937.2 (an SDK 2.7 driver and runtime), now it is all the way down on CAL driver 1.4.1385 and APP runtime unknown (an SDK 2.4 driver),
try updating your drivers back to a more recent driver.

thank i updated my driver etc as suggested and was sent two ap wu. however now that is it, i have completed these and the event log shows scheduler has no new tasks, it can not beleive that seti has compete all the ap wu. I am crunching all the v7 so i am still busy but my GPU/API is not being used which is a shame.

"Scheduler has no new tasks" means that the queue for sending tasks is (temporarily) empty. The scheduler gets tasks in groups of 100 to send out; when that queue is emptied, it takes a bit of time to refill the queue. If your request comes in when the queue is refilling, that is the message you get.

It IS annoyingly misleading, but that's the way it's been for a long time.

ok I know i maybe trying to work it all out but i have never had to wait for three weeks to do 2 ap wu before, for only a 100 ap wu at a time would mean it is a lottery and i have not been lucky for three weeks? its a pity i can not work on v7 wu when i do not have ap wu on my GPU/ATI.

The reason you didn't get AP for three weeks is because your drivers were too old, not because you weren't lucky, the other factures are that Astropulse are split quicker than Multibeam, meaning once all the tapes are split for AP we have to wait for Multibeam to be split and sent before new tapes are added, meaning that for the last week or so there's been a shortage of Astropulse, another facture may be your cache settings.
