the first Computer is Authentic AMD
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 260 Processor [Family 16 Model 6 Stepping 3] and has
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x86 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00
On this Computer is a Nvidia GT630

the second Computer is AuthenticAMD
AMD E-350 Processor [Family 20 Model 1 Stepping 0]and has
Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00)
On this Computer is a Nvidia GT430

On both Computers come the message

Whenever you see this message, you either haven't installed the drivers for the videocard from the manufacturer's website, in this case the Nvidia drivers, or you installed BOINC as a service (protected application installation), in which case its limited user can't read outside the BOINC Programs and Data directory.

Post your Boinc startup messages from the message tab or the event log for one of your hosts, the first 20 to 30 lines will do,

You're installed as a service (protected application installation), uninstall Boinc and reinstall, this time don't tick the protected application installation box in the advanced options,
