Here's the log: Try this: Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package for 32bit It stops the really short units at other projects, no idea if it will work for you though. I see your pc is a 64bit one, no idea if they make a 64bit package, but if you are only getting 32bit units it may not matter. The other problem is you could be using a MUCH too new driver, look around and I think you will find that the driver version that does work with a 6950 is 13.1 which can be gotten here: http://www.hal6000.com/seti/boinc_ati_gpu_cheat_sheet.htm Downloads are at the very bottom of the page. |

OK, now it says "GPU missing". Drivers are working perfectly, yet BOINC don't think so. I don't know then, the 6950 gpu's have long been a problem here, but I thought the 13.1 version was what made them work. |

Actually, it still fails the "MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati)" tasks. I've changed that machine to "work" and made so that the "work" group don't download those tasks, but it refused to play ball the first time I tried. What do I have to write in the local xml file to get it to stop this nonsense? Every time it downloads the "MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati)" tasks it fails them and then it stops getting WUs due to failure rate. |

Every time it downloads the "MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati)" tasks it fails them and then it stops getting WUs due to failure rate. The easiest way is to go on the website under your account, mw@home preferences and then edit this section: Run only the selected applications MilkyWay@Home MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation Milkyway@Home Separation Milkyway@Home Separation (Modified Fit) Uncheck the first one and you stop getting those units. In the process make sure your pc IS in fact in the 'work' group by going into your account, Computers on this account then viewing the one having problems. At the very bottom of the page is where you can put it in the 'work' group in your case, then as soon as you either you do a manual update of the project on that pc, or when that pc contacts MW, it should pop into the 'work' group. |

I did that, and at first it didn't work. But now it works for some unknown reason. This is witchcraft, I say :P Hey as long as it's working don't mess with it!! |

HD 5800s & 6900s can only crunch MW v1.02 WUs with the Cat 13.1 driver (& you need to do a 'deep' clean of previous drivers), unless you're prepared to do some messing around with the drivers, in which case read this thread http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3400 Team AnandTech - SETI@H, DPAD, F@H, MW@H, A@H, LHC, POGS, R@H, Einstein@H, DHEP, WCG Main rig - Ryzen 5 3600, MSI B450 G.Pro C.

I put it to work doing only "Milkyway@Home Separation (Modified Fit) v1.34 (opencl_ati_101)" WUs. Not going to mess with it now, just going to leave it alone and not break it. |

Not going to mess with it now, just going to leave it alone and not break it. Good thinking. Never mess with a stable system. |
