    Possible suggestion:
    1. uninstall the video driver
    2. run a driver cleaner app to really make sure it is gone
    3. reinstall
    4. Don't trust windows to update the driver. Get it yourself from AMD and install it manually.

    Once the BOINC client acknowledges you have a GPU that can crunch, you shouldn't have any problem getting work from Collatz.
    I did just that. Upgraded the driver and it's crunching away. The problem is that it says I have a AMD ATI Radeon HD 2300/2400/3200 (RV610) (368MB) driver: 1.4.1457. Windows says I have an HD 4200. I'm only using 3 cpu cores to free up one for the gpu. Looks like it may have reduced the crunching times. I still can not get Collatz to crunch. I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

    I've been running Moo now and looking at these times and the about of credits I'm getting it's not worth it to run Moo.

    Not sure why I'm not getting the 6k for doing these but if I stop these Moo wu's and go back to four cores, The extra Cpu core gets 200 points per wu. See below.

    Maybe this lowend gpu s not worth running. Unless someone has some advice or can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Re: ATI HD 4200 Where to put it?

    I think a low end GPU is not worth the electricity it will consume unless it is extra, not taking away from the CPU. Thing is, Slicker's mini Collatz WUs are perfect for this scenario. Wouldn't have to shut down any cores, and you get GPU credits too. I wonder why it won't run Collatz? Anyone have any ideas on that?

    I'm beginning to think that this HP box has an IGPU masked as a HD4200. When I check the box on the Moo website it says the coprocessor is: AMD ATI Radeon HD 2300/2400/3200 (RV610) (368MB) driver: 1.4.1457
    Says nothing about an HD 4xxx series. I wish it would run Collatz. It errors out both the mini and reg. wu's. Tomorrow I'm shutting down Moo on it and just running the 4 cores on DiRT/Prima.

    If you run GPU-Z on it, what does it list it as?

    Mike I have a asus m4a88td-v evo board that has the same gpu and I am running mini collatz on it. It runs just fine on it...I think it takes 2.5 hours to complete the WU.

    My gpu specs say:: (from the Collatz site)
    CAL ATI Radeon HD 2300/2400/3200 (RV610) (341 MB)....
    MY driver# = 1.4.556

    My OS is XP PRO...


    Specs from my Device Manager....
    Driver date = 02/10/2010
    Driver Version = 8.710.0.0

    You might have to go with this older driver...Looks like they borked it on the new driver versions.

    Im running win 7 Pro 64 so I'll take a look at the driver you mentioned.
    Thanks Eagle,
