It means that BOINC found insufficient video-RAM for any of your unstarted GPU tasks. See if a reboot fixes that. Else, disable Aero in Windows, try different drivers (there have been reports that the drivers you use show less memory on the card).

You didn't say what videocard you have.

That'd be Geforce GTX 285.

It was all working fine up until two days ago I'd say. I'll reboot tomorrow morning. Then try disabling Areo. Instaled the above driver just this morning.
