I know not many fold on ATI hardware, & fewer still use XP but still thought i should transfer this info here.

From support forum for F@H:


Experimental CAL DLLs to fix the VPU Recover issue on XP32

I have some experimental CAL DLLs in my possession that help to fix the VPU Recover issues on XP32 with Catalyst 9.x drivers.

These DLLs support the environment variables (FLUSH_INTERVAL, BROOK_YIELD, CAL_NO_FLUSH, CAL_PRE_FLUSH).

If you're willing to test them, you can get the experimental DLLs here : http://www.fleucorp.fr/files/Experimental_CAL_DLLs.rar

Rename the existing DLLs in the client folder (or delete them if you don't want to revert to them).
Unrar the experimental DLLs to your client folder (so that you simply have to delete them to get back to driver provided DLLs).

these dlls should also work on XP64 since the client is running 32-bit, but this release is targeted at XP32 since that is where we had the most reported issues.

So far, so good. Tried above files last night & have not had a VPU Recover since. Projects completed since without error:

Project: 5742 (Run 4, Clone 29, Gen 195)
Project: 5740 (Run 1, Clone 9, Gen 250)
Project: 5741 (Run 2, Clone 79, Gen 86)
Project: 5746 (Run 3, Clone 74, Gen 112)
Project: 5740 (Run 3, Clone 3, Gen 226)
Project: 5745 (Run 1, Clone 62, Gen 175)

If running XP 32 or 64bit, give them a shot........

Update: Have not had a single vpu or folding error of any kind since testing began on these ATI supplied experimental CAL DLLs.
