Yesterday I put in a GTX260 in my Q9450 machine. I had everything working properly. My machine downloaded a ton of CUDA WUs that were crunching as well as a few astropulse my my CPU to crunch.

My question is this. Is there a way to set it so I only get CUDA WUs and no WUs for my CPU? I want to crunch a different project with my CPU and have the GPU crunch seti. I have gone to the preferences and this is what I have:

SETI@home Enhanced: yes
Astropulse: no
Astropulse v5: no
If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? no
Use Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) if available yes
Use Central Processing Unit (CPU) no

After I changed that, I updated and started to get a flood of just regular SETI@home Enhanced WUs. I can't put no for SETI@home Enhanced in the preferences, because if all of those are unchecked it turns them all back on. Also, today I have received no CUDA WUs.

I don't know too much about the inner workings of the program so if you have a techie answer please try to make it as simple as possible. Thanks.

I am getting just GPU WU's with the Enhanced checked yes and the astropulse apps checked no, also make sure that you check no to accepting work from other apps if no work available for selected app. If that doesn't work I don't know why.

Got it working. It wasn't reading the changes I had made until I updated it several times.
