Requesting new tasks for GPU

(moderation:
I just upgraded my BOINC client to 6.6.36 for x64. Why it generated new ID's is beyond me, but worse, Einstein no longer works! Rosetta does just fine, but under messages I see Einstein gets "Requesting new Tasks for GPU" followed by "Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error" So, I tried to reset project, no go, then reinstall BOINC 6.6.36 for x64 (I run Vista-64, and updateing BOINC client is a regular no-issue event, until now). So, how do I get out of this endless error loop and get back to crunching for Einstein?

thanks in advance.......
Requesting new tasks for GPU

You should take it easy!
Sometimes the project/server are down for maintenance or off-line for back up.
Usually it takes some hours, and in worst cases, one or two days.
I recommend to join several projects if you want/wish your CPU being busy!
The BOINC Manager will sort it out perfectly well.
RE: You should take it

Yes, I understand, and I see I left out important information, I did the upgrade >24 hours ago. Also, I should have highlighted what it is asking for, GPU tasks, not CPU. As far as I know, there is not yet a GPU application for Einstein, and I do not have any CUDA projects going. Meanwhile, all other PC's on network are BOINC'ing along just fine. I am also on Rosetta, and that portion of the BOINC on the afflicted PC works just fine.
Thank you.

Did you change from 32bit to

Did you change from 32bit to 64bit? That would explain the new IDs.
For your HTTP problem, you could try switching to HTTP 1.0. See this message.

RE: Why it generated new

According to your list of computers you do not have new hostIDs. Are you sure you got new IDs and that they run under this account?
RE: RE: Why it generated

First, thanks to all who are trying to help. There is no connectivity problem, and in fact, preferences download just fine. As to the new ID and list of computers, I started to clean that up a short while ago (when I discovered I could) from 16 "Hosts" to just the 6 that run now. When I got that message, I merged computers by name. I also checked preferences again, looking to disable any GPU usage so the project would ask for more work for CPU not GPU. There is no place to edit that preference. Perhaps this may help;

So, somewhere somehow, in updateing my BOINC client I get this. The old client like the new is x64 not x86. I am closely aware of this as 4 of 6 PC's running BOINC are X64 (Vista and XP-64). NO other BOINC ever gives a message looking for work for "GPU". So maybe, somewhere, there is a little'ole "*.ini" file that is corupted? Or a registry entry somewhere?

That seems to be a problem with 6.6.36, as I read on the SETI number crunching board. There was proposed to use a cc_config.xml file with 1 in the section.

Danke!
Your post reminded me of a new install option to run protected, but no GPU tasks could be run, so I used the shotgun approach, uninstall, then deleted every file and registry entry I could find then rebooted. I re-installed 6.6.36 used the new option then rebooted (BOINC required it) and now it all runs fine, starting with these messages;
