Hi folks,

This is a new laptop, HP EliteBook with Vista Enterprise x64, and intel core 2 duo T9400 @ 2.53GHz, and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M gfx card, which supports CUDA with 512MB of video card RAM.

Upon installing the 6.10.0 x64 Boinc Manager, the manager would simply sit waiting for the client to connect without success. According to Task Manager, the manager and the trap apps were running, the core client was not. Running the core client manually gave the following error. Downgraded to 6.6.36, which worked.
