(moderation:
I have a Nvidia GT 430 that HAD been running Arecibo workunits just fine before, but for some reason, BOINC has silently stoped giving me those WU's. At first i thought you guys had ran out of Arecibo WU's, so I didnt think much of it. However, after a long while I realized that you guys didnt stop the work flow, and that for some reason BOINC tells me that there's no WU's available for my application.

The messenger also gave me a link to the scheduler logs, which Im guessing has the answer there, but I cant seem to find it.

Can you help me figure out what's telling BOINC that theres no WU's for me? I already triple-checked my preferences and it allows Arecibo WU's and it allows Nvidia GPU's.

The clue is in the server log:
Like many other people, you have installed an Nvidia driver which turned out to have bugs, and caused many project tasks to fail - there have been several threads on the subject over the last two months.
The good news is that Nvidia's WHQL drivers v301.42 were released today, and seem to be bug-free - or free of that particular bug, at least. Upgrade your drivers again, and the work should start flowing.
ah, ok. I had a feeling it

ah, ok. I had a feeling it was a driver issue, but it didn't really seem to occur to me that I needed a specific driver. I don't seem to recall any GPU issues in the past when using the driver I had, but whatever. Thanks for replying. I'll have to get on it whenever I have free time on my hands, along with my ATi Drivers for my other system.
