Does the boinc.exe process (service!) have access to the graphic libraries/drivers? RDP should only be a problem if a connection is established. Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) ![]() |

Try to uninstall BOINC, then reinstall not as a service. In the third screen in the installer, click Advanced, then uncheck the mark on "protected application execution" and continue the installation. Apropos, I am not completely sure the 3200 is a capable GPU. It doesn't show in the list of capable GPUs. |

2Gundolf Jahn Does the boinc.exe process (service!) have access to the graphic libraries/drivers? I am no sure how to check that. Where should I look? 2Ageless Try to uninstall BOINC, then reinstall not as a service. Tried that, no effect. By the way, as far as I understand, should that matter on NT5? I mean, session 0 is isolated on NT6 only AFAIU. Apropos, I am not completely sure the 3200 is a capable GPU. It doesn't show in the list of capable GPUs. It appears in section called "AMD Chipset" -- 3200 is a part of 780G chipset. |

Does the boinc.exe process (service!) have access to the graphic libraries/drivers? Are they in the path of the BOINC user (generated by the installer) and does that user have access rights to them? Gruß, Gundolf |

Most of the paths (like C:\windows; C:\windows\system32; C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static) are set as system variable so (unless I need to add additional paths (which ones?) manually) boinc_master (account for BOINC service) has them set too. As for access rights I tried to run the BOINC service an Administrator and tried installing BOINC without a service, that fives the same result (except "Running as a daemon" line changes). |
