Somehow my registry got trashed on Win 7 x64. Restores wouldn't work, nor did repairs. I had to reinstall completely. One thing I've noticed now that most everything is backup and running, is that BOINC Mangaer is refusing to run CUDA code on my 2nd video card.

10/10/2010 1:25:02 PM NVIDIA GPU 1 (not used): GeForce 8600 GT (driver version 19713, CUDA version 3000, compute capability 1.1, 496MB, 38 GFLOPS peak)

It's not a big producer, but it did contribute before the crash. How can I get it back?

Do you have a cc_config.xml file in your boinc data folder with the line
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
in it?

Actually no, I didn't have that file in my working recently reinstalled directory. However, I went looking in the backups that Windows made and I found it. Copied it over and restarted BOINC. Voila! She's flying now! Thank you. That was just what I needed.
