I just updated to the latest Intel Drivers for my HD 4400 and all I get are comp errors on those WU's. Version 10.18.10.3960 - with a date of 9/29/14. Anyone have this issue? Everything has been perfect until I updated.

This has certainly been reported before.

Intel GPU - computation errors (SETI)
A lot of invalid results (opencl-intel_gpu) (Einstein)

The best driver to use appears to be 10.18.10.3621, released May 21 2014 - that seems to work for both projects.

Thanks for the info, Intel only allows me to go back to the previous drivers, Version 10.18.10.3907. I will give that a shot, if not I will have to dig through their site some more to find them.

Would be good if such findings would be reported also back to Intel via their forums or customer support. This would allow at least some hope that next driver update will be not so disastrous.

I have the v15.33.22.64.3621 install package archived & can host it for you to d/l if you can't find it from the Intel site. Normally they yank older releases to never be found again.

I appreciate it, however, using the previous drivers 'windows explorer' kept crashing on my system when I was trying to access the new external network hard drive I added. As soon as I went to the most recent release the crases stopped, but so did any hope of using the Intel 4400. Since this is my work computer (my business) reliablity of the access to my files trumps Seti (at least here). Hopefully they will fix it in the next release.

I have several older versions archived for Windows 7 x64. When I get home from work today I may just put them all on my web server. So that SETI@home users have access to them. Since Intel just pulls older releases.

Well I went back to the 3621 intel driver and it is working now. So it is an Intel driver problem
