Hi Vainkop, your CUDA version seems outdated anyways you should use the "services" section.

I also tried the latest cuda toolkit 5.5 & it's still the same.

Can you tell me a little bit more about "services section" I should use to make cudaminer work?

Thanks!

Hello.

I'm trying to make cudaminer 2013.12.18 (or any of them) work on my test machine: Asus 1215N ion which supports cuda. Win7x64SP1

I installed Visual Studio 2008 + C++ redistributables + cuda toolkit+sdk 3.2 & drivers which were included.

When I run cudaminer I get:
Code:
c:\cudaminer\x64>cudaminer

[2013-12-23 09:56:27] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?

But if I run devicequery & bandwidthTestI successfully get:

Also all Cuda C samples from NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser work correctly!

I tried all versions from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229

So how can I make cudaminer to recognize cuda?!

BTW I cannot run devicequery or bandwidthTest from anywhere, only from C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2\C\bin\win64\Release (or NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2 Browser app). Is it normal or maybe some path should be set manually?

I tried to configure it manually like here: http://coitweb.uncc.edu/~abw/SIGCSE2011Workshop/ConfiguringVSforCUDA.pdf but it's still the same Sad

Help!


Best regards,
Val
