    I downloaded the gpu client from the stanford folding@home website
    What i downloaded was called
    Windows: V6 GPU2 (;) clients Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 GPU2 System tray client (installer msi)
    After downloading i installed it without a problem. Now when i try to run it i get a message saying "At present your GPU is not supported or you need a current driver. You may wish to consider running our standard client, which you can download at folding.stanford.edu."
    And then it doesnt start the client
    How could i solve this problem?

    I have an HIS 5750, Q6600, 4GB DDR3. Running win 7 64bit

    Have you tried downloading the latest drivers for your videocard?

    AMD cards do not give good results with GPU2. You should get better results with the v7 (beta) client.

    i downloaded the V7 and now its working. But i only have the GPU client running.

    Previously i downloaded the SMP client from this page
    http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

    It was called
    Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 SMP2 client console version
    6.34 (32-bit or 64-bit)

    Now if i want to run both the GPU and the CPU clients should i run the V7 for the GPU and the SMP which i downloaded? OR can i uninstall the SMP client i have and install the SMP client into the V7 as mentioned in the "Multi-client Installation - Adding slots (Expert and above)" section as mentioned here? http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGuide

    I would just run the v7 client for both smp and gpu.
