Message 32299 - Posted: 11 Oct 2009, 20:24:58 UTC

hello,

I work with Boinc 6.4.5 (windows xp-32bit version) and it runs great.
I bought windows 7 (64bit version) and I want to know whether it's running, too?

can you help me?

(sorry for my bad english)

regards, gu_wo

sure it works. best to stick with vista 8.12 drivers, all others will just cause problems with mw! 9.5 was ok before 0.20 version, after that I have only working systems with 8.12 even under win7x64.

great it works,
but I do not understand the vista 8.12 drivers. what do you mean?
for example, I install boinc 6.6.38 for 64bit and then?

I mean that Win7 is based on Vista, and when 8.12 was released they did not mention Win7 in driver name. So you can install 8.12 driver for Vista :)

Don't confuse the guy... he doesn't even have and ATI GPU ;)

@gu_wo, it will work just fine. That's all you need to know and don't worry about the driver stuff since it doesn't apply to you.
