I have 7.0.26 on my Windows host and don't get any more GPU work?

Shall I downgrade again?

Why do I not get any GPU tasks

Did you use anonymous platform before? It looks like some tasks have been assigned on your host to app versions that are no longer supported on the project.

Try resetting the project on the Client.

No, I did not use anonymous platform before.

I will reset the project after the current WU is finished.

[edit]I should add that I receive tasks from Albert@home for my GPU. But I have already stopped work from Albert@home for the moment.

The problem seems to be the

The problem seems to be the NVIDIA driver version, it's one of those that caused massive computation errors because of a driver bug. Therefore it was decided to exclude hosts with these drivers from getting work at E@H.

The solution would be to downgrade or update the driver, see this thread:

That's a drama, I thought I use driver version 295.73?

And the first driver version above that that will get you work at E@H is 301.00 .

I downgraded to driver

I downgraded to driver 295.73, made a reboot after shutting down all my VirtualBox hosts, reset the project and I still get only tasks for Gamma-ray pulsar search #1 0.34!

Here are the relevant logs:

11.05.2012 09:40:44 | | Local time is UTC +2 hours
11.05.2012 09:40:44 | | VirtualBox version: 4.1.10

Hi! That driver is still

Hi!

That driver is still in the forbidden version range.

You will need to downgrade to 290.53 or below or upgrade to 301.00 or above.

According to our scheduler

According to our scheduler logs:

Until 2012-05-11 06:55:39 your client reported driver version supplied: 296.10
From 2012-05-11 07:41:02 on your client reported driver version supplied: 295.73

Neither of these will get you CUDA tasks on Einstein@Home. Downgrade to 290.53 or upgrade to 301.xx.
