problem with gpu tracker

petriodet · 19 Apr 2011 at 10:05

i have an error when trying to load the program.".net framework intialization error, unable to find a runtime to run this application"
it is an xp x64 os.
i have updated the .net framework i believe it had framework 4 on and the update was just a security update.

Sounds odd, never heard of that, only have the obvious suggestion I'm afraid - reinstall? Did it ever work before or is this the first time you are trying to install it?

never worked. does gpu tracker support .net framework 4 the only info i can find says it support 3.5 but i would assume it would support 4.

I'm running it on Win XP Pro (64 bit) - no issues for me.

Make sure you update XP from Microsoft - mine has had all available updates installed.

Also, with mine I had to disable CPU detection.

Never had an issue with the .net framework.

found an update that works. but now i have a problem with it, it won't detected the cpu's, the cpu's are dual x5560 , it just won't start folding, i press the start cpu button and won't pickup a wu, in the log it says configuring folding at home.

I'd try doing things one at a time, just tick the CPU one first, make sure you have the SMP and advmethods boxes ticked and you have passkey, then get the cpu stuff working first.

After the cpu is working then do one GPU at a time.

Same issue with the CPU - tracker does not detect it.

All you have to do is disable CPU detection - via the flag: -nocpudetected

I created a shortcut to the tracker 'exe' and then added the flag.

So, select the shortcut properties and add the flag to the end, thus:

"C:\Folding\FAH GPU Tracker V2\FAH GPU Tracker V2.exe" -nocpudetect

This should do the trick for you.

There may be an easier way - but I don't know it.
