I am running win7 64bit not sure if that is the issue?
I have installed the NVIDIA Driver 190.38 for Windows 7 (64-bit) with CUDA Support and have tried each and everyone of the GPU installs with no luck.

When starting the client I get an error that is cannot find a compatible card.

Thought?

Sig is way outdated sorry for the confusion.
The card in question would be a Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M.

try the nvidia 195 driver?

I had issues with one of my 9800s until i went from 190 to 195

I tried the 195.62 WHQL first and received the same error.
Then i did more research and thought you needed the actual cuda driver which i installed but did not work either.

Did you try this driver (http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_195.62_whql.html)?

It should fold, but given that it only has 16 SPs (Stream Proceesors, or CUDA cores), it won't have a lot of production.

With a card with 128SP, I get about 5-6K ppd. With a card with 240SP, I can get about 8 ppd.

As you can see, it isn't linear, but I'd be surprised if you get more than 1000 ppd.

I doubt it will fold stably. Many of the 46 sp cards won't, which is why I have doubts.
