Going to make a How-to for GPUGrid. After WE get it done, yes you help too plz, we can start a new thread and ask for a sticky.
1. Download and install Boinc 6.6.36 (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php) or higher. Under Customise Installation, uncheck Protected Mode.
2. Install Nvidia drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us) version 185.xx or higher as they have CUDA 2.2.
3. If your drivers are older than 185.xx update Nvidia drivers using the following method to uninstall old drivers:
A. Go to Device Manager and Uninstall the Display Device and check box to Uninstall Driver.
B. Allow reboot, boot into safe mode delete Nvidia folder in root directory, C:'Nvidia, and run Driver Sweeper (http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/).
C. Reboot and Install new Drivers.
4. Start Boinc and Click on Tools > Attach to Project. Click Next, find GPUGrid in list and click Next. If you have not registered yet Enter email address and password you want to use and click next. If you already registered at GPUGrid.net then click Yes, Existing User and enter email and password you used at GPUGrid.net.
5. Boinc should download work for your computer, if it does not or you get an error message in Messages go to Projects Tab, Select GPUGRID and click Update Button. Go back to Messages or Transfers and see if it downloads work.
Additions or corrections?
