I finally got my card and managed to produce the first 3 (out of 3) WU-errors right away. Any suggestions what I should try to make it work? I'm running

- Win XP 32 SP2 (German)
- BOINC 6.3.9.
- driver 177.79 because 177.35 refuses to install on the GTX+ (new 55 nm chip)
- application 6.30

The stderr out is:

<core_client_version>6.3.9</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
Unzul�ssige Funktion. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)
</message>
<stderr_txt>
# Device 0: "GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+"; Clock rate: 1836000 kilohertz
MDIO ERROR: cannot open file "restart.coor"
</stderr_txt>
]]>

("unzulässige Funktion" means something like invalid function)

The WUs are failing for my wingmen, but with different error messages, e.g.

<core_client_version>6.3.8</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
Impossibile trovare il percorso specificato. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0x3)
</message>
<stderr_txt>

In all but the last case the error happened quickly. but this guy managed to crunch for 27,000 s.

The WUs are:

Hope this helps in any way,

Update:

I installed the inf-modified Version of the 177.35 driver. It recognizes my GTX+ as GTX, but no problems with that so far (it's a pure die shrink after all). The first WU, still on client 6.30, got past the first 10 minutes, whereas previously it would fail before the first min.

Next update: 1st WU finished successfully, 2nd seems to run fine (all app 6.30 & 177.35)!
