Sorry. This is wrong. When you go into the "Advanced" menu in BOINC Manager, you need to press "Clear" to apply the web-based settings as opposed to your local ones.
But what Colt45 pointed out above will most likely fix your GPU processing problem.
I dont have a "clear" in the "Advanced" menu. When I do read the config file, I get this:
Sat Nov 3 23:53:50 2012 | | Re-reading cc_config.xml
Sat Nov 3 23:53:50 2012 | | No config file found - using defaults
Sat Nov 3 23:53:50 2012 | | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task
Any ideas?
Read config reads the local config file for any changes. If you don't have a local config file, the message you got is what is produced.
Under Projects "Update" reads the web config.
And to be clear, the local config settings ONLY override those in the web config if you've made adjustments.
IE, if you have a CPU usage percentage defined under your default config on the site and change that preference on your local machine, that's a local config option which overrides the options set globally through the website.
The list of projects, unless manually excluded through the local config file (which you would need to manually edit through a text editor and it sounds like your copy doesn't even exist, which is typical for a default style configuration) is retrieved from the website when you hit "update".
