GPU slot not getting any work unit

Happy holidays guys:

I recently started folding again since I have some spare machines just laying around at the moment.

I got a GTX460 recently for a very cheap price, and together with my old 660Ti I figure they should give a nice point boost.

However I haven't been able to get either card to run so far. I'm running the latest V7 client and it hasn't been able to pull any work unit off the server. Are there simply no more WUs for these GPUs? or did I do something wrong?

Here is the log for 660Ti, the 460 is showing the same:

just for future reference in case anyone got same problem. In my case the problem seems to be winxp. moved the cards into a windows 10 system and now they're both getting WUs just fine. The windows 10 system is on the same network as winxp so that rules out connectivity problems. Dunno maybe XP is just getting so obsolete it's not worth making WUs for them anymore.
