	rebirther, Why is this is the ONLY project that keeps sending my PC the notice below? I DON'T have GPU task enabled nor have GPU processing enabled for the corresponding PC's venue "home". The (very old) GPU in not used for BOINC. SRBase: Notice from server NVIDIA GPU: Upgrade to the latest driver to process tasks using your computer's GPU ____________

	Your GPU is not supported / too old or plan_class doesnt match driver / cuda version Correct. The GPU is EXCLUDED from use in this project and in BOINC itself. So why does only this project keep sending the redundant notice? Example: PrimeGrid & Einstein do not give any such notice yet they support GPU work and apparently see that the GPU is excluded from use. Shouldn't this project see that the GPU is excluded from use regardless of what hardware is installed like any of the other projects?

What BOINC version is running, nvidia is still activated in prefs?

	What BOINC version is running, nvidia is still activated in prefs? This is on HOST ID: 102 Version 7.16.20 x64 Windows. The last version this PC will run correctly. GPU is recognized and noted when BOINC first starts but set to SUSPEND in BOINC so as not to receive GPU tasks on any project. From the startup message in BOINC: 01-Jul-2024 04:19:39 [SRBase] Not using NVIDIA GPU: project preferences
