How have you guys installed the BOINC client?
In the protected mode under Vista the application may not have the necessary access rights. CUDA apps also fail when tried to run in such a scenario. On XP64 and Server2003 it should also run in the protected mode.

If also the people where it runs could report on this?


I reinstalled Boinc this morning with default value, and now all seems to work, some freeze on the screen but some tuning needed, i suppose. Thanks for your support

Just a quick note that it still crashes on my machine. I'm going to try and clear out at least the Milkyway tasks I have left, then see if it works on my Vista x64 installation. It's possible ATI's 8.12 drivers for Win7 don't have Stream support yet, which is my suspicion at this point.

Well, Vista x64 gives a better error: "No compatible GPU found!" I know I have a Radeon HD4870 1GB though, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Right now, I'm running with Cat 8.12. I'll update to Cat 9.1 and try again.

EDIT: Same result with Cat 9.1. Are you checking for a compatible GPU, and if so, how?


Hi,
Same problem for me with Vista64 + Catalyst 9.1

<core_client_version>6.2.19</core_client_version>

The screenshot and two videos posted in this thread are done on Vista64. There are quite some people where it runs. So please check again the points already mentioned here in the forum:
- driver correctly installed (three amdcal??64.dll files present in Windows/system32 folder)
- you are not accessing the machine over a remote desktop connection (use VNC and disable mirror driver)
- the card should be active (monitor connected to it)


- driver installed yesterday, the 3 files are in System32 (amdcalcl64.dll ,amdcaldd64.dll and amdcalrt64.dll)
- i didn't use any remote protocol, it's my main PC
- the card was active, there is only one.

I have the next alpha version ready, still limited to Win64 and running on ATI HD38x0 and HD48x0 cards with Catalyst driver 8.12 or 9.1. But this time it should be able to handle again all WUs flying around, also those with more than one stream. They should take about 50% longer (there is one stream more to calculate). I have squeezed the code a bit, it should need now about 0.1 seconds less for the single stream WUs ;) But there is not much left what one could get out of it performance wise. Don't expect major speed gains for the future!
