What to do?

Hey MDodier,

It looks like you are crunching just fine to me. Not sure why you got the message, but you are definitely still getting work units. If you notice any other problems feel free to let me know and I will look into it.

As a side note, validation inconclusive does not mean that you are not getting credits or even that anything is wrong. It is simply letting you know that your results still need to be validated against the results of other users.

We run the same work unit on multiple users and then cross check the results for security. It ensures entire runs aren't destroyed by rogue broken computers returning bad results. The validation process is very important to us because these runs take a long time and the results of these runs are used for active cutting edge research. From what I understand, this is different than most other projects which may use different, faster validation processes.

Thank you for your support,

Jake W.

Hello Mdodier :0

I get the same message but I still get WU

I do received WorkUnit, but I received 50 times the same message in the last 11 hours.

I'm getting annoyed.

There is certainly a better use for both computer (your server and my desktop) than checking and reporting that Catalyst driver version is not OK for CAL application with this GPU.... 50 times

PLEASE TELL ME WHICH CATALYST DRIVER from ATI I should install:

I got the latest 14.12 since december 2014. Should I go back to a previous one?
