    This problem has been happening for the past 3 months.
    During that time i have removed the project deleted all the files. Reattached project, individually set windows security protocols for FULL access, set virus check to exclude and ignore those folders.
    The problem still persists.
    Is anyone else having this problem

      For which user did you give full access, for you or the BOINC user/group?

        This BOINC FAQ Service FAQ appears to deal with your problem but I'm assuming from what you've said that you've already tried the suggestions mentioned.

        'Access is denied' sounds very much like a permissions problem. For instance, have you installed BOINC (and created files and folders) owned by an administrative account and are you perhaps now trying to run it under an account with lesser privileges? Are you really sure that ALL files and folders have the correct permissions?

        It appears that you are able to crunch all GW tasks but that ABP tasks destined for crunching on the GPU always fail. That seems to point towards the installation of your graphics card and/or drivers?? Actually you can scratch that idea. I've just more carefully looked through your entire list of tasks and there is indeed one non-CUDA ABP task that has also failed. So it's not just CUDA tasks.

        Until you sort out what is misconfigured on your machine, you should stop doing ABP tasks entirely so as to save trashing so many tasks. Good luck with tracking down the problem.

        Cheers,
        Gary.

            Curious running 10 projects in total and this is the only one with permission problems, did work initially!

            The only other problem is i don't have double precision for my GPU
            "NVIDIA GPU lacks the needed compute capability (1.3, required for double precision math"

              That's required for Milkyway@Home, not for Einstein@Home.
