Now please keep an eye out if you get any more tasks, as the administration has changed settings so that the NoCAL application will only be used when BOINC doesn't report that it has detected a CAL driver.

I'll sporadically check as well. Thus far it seems your system has run into a dry spell again at Seti, but then it does have work from Einstein, which may be the cause that you don't have Seti work.

OK. I'll check it periodically.

It looks like its working. The computer is using the GPU for SETI with the NoCAL application.

Sorry to say, but the NoCAL application has been retracted for the moment due to it giving problems on the systems of people with older videocards. Getting a driver restart (with required BOINC and/or system restart) every time that the app loads isn't something you want to go through. There is still an OpenCL_ATI5_NoCAL app, perhaps that your system picks that one up.
