Hi,

I've just joined the GPUgrid project, but I have a problem when running WU's.

A process called dwm.exe (for Vista windows) takes a lot of CPU ressource (up to 90% of 1 processor), and my laptop becomes sluggish.
When I suspend the GPUGrid task, it comes back to normal.

I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M (with CUDA 2.0. installed), seen as CUDA-capable card by BOINC.
It has 256 Mbytes and 1017 Mbytes shared, which I think meets the minimum requirement, doesn't it ?

Thanks for your help.
Duanra
