Here is the new error, Folding@home has run into a serious error running the core, and will shutdown. I have been getting the VGA errors, where the screen goes black and the fan shuts off, well, since I installed F@H, but I sucked it up because I don't have the time now to fix it. But now it won't even run. I got those new .dll's and tried running it again, but still error. Any ideas? I will have time at the end of the week to start really investigating i hope. Thanks!

This is what the Fah Wiki reports on your error:

Fatal Error:
-10

CoreStatus = FFFFFFF6 (-10)
Client-core communications error: ERROR 0xfffffff6
This is a sign of more serious problems, shutting down.

CAL returns this error code when it cannot initialize the GPU. Verify that there is a monitor on that card and that the Windows desktop has been extended to it. Verify that you're running the correct version of the .dll files.

This is obviously a very general error, and may arise from more than one cause. One problem we see a lot is either the client.cfg parameters are wrong (I got this error once when I accidentally entered the wrong memory for instance), or the files and/or directories for FAH have been moved after the installation.

Is the run time file for CUDA dll in the same directory as your FAH client exe file? Filename: cudart.dll.
 
Would you post your client.cfg file, from the fah directory?

In Control Panel >> System >> Device Manager >> Display Adapters, does this card show up with the proper identification?

When you try to run it, are you signed into an administrator account, with a password, and is that password the same one you used to install this client?

Have you already run the gpu memory test utility on this card?
 
I rebooted and it is working again, XP might have been tired and needed a reset. Everything about the password I do, and I didn't know there was a memory test for the card, I will find it and run it and let you know.
