I am getting no usable GPUs found. I will try to give enough info to help. I've been crunching for 16 years and this is one of the first problems I have had.

I use a real monitor (39" Seiki running at 3840x2160)
I have done about everything I can think of: Different drivers, different Boinc versions, AMP drivers.

How do I crack this problem of Boinc not detecting the GPU?

The usual, I'm afraid. That line says you made a service install: uninstall BOINC (you won't lose any data), and re-install it using the same folder locations - but visiting the 'Advanced' page on the way through, to uncheck the service install option.

Ahh the simple things you overlook...

uninstall, reinstall, disable service, and appears to be working now.

Thank you for the speedy reply.
