dear Nvidia/CUDA,
I recently bought a netbook especially with NVIDIA graphics card to be able to use CUDA. IT is then ASUS N10jb series. It has the label CUDA on it, so I expected to be able to use CUDA. When I install the CUDA driver however I get the message that no driver is available. I can install the SDK, but of the examples, only the bandwidth test works, the rest of the examples fails. It runs XP. Graphics card inside is G105M.
Cuda was the only reason to buy this particular netbook, What is going wrong?
regards,
Peter
P.S.
The exact message is
The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with yourcurrent hardware. Setup will now exit
Try uninstalling the graphics driver that is already installed and install with:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html
See how you go. And the reason why no examples will work is cause you the cuda driver is not installed properly.
The link gets me the same driver that gave the error I mentioned during install. I’ll try to see what happens if I first uninstall the display driver and reinstall.
Same error message.
btw the driver version is 6.14.11.7984
I also have to mention I did not install the notbook g105m driver, but the normal one, since the notebook can according to nvidia website only be downloaded from mitac, but their website is filled with ‘investor relations’ ‘social responsibility’ and other PR crap to get the stock price up.
with the 6.14.11.7984 driver (default) I get the following result from
-deviceQuerydrv.exe crash the procedure ebtry point cuDruverGetVersion could not be located in the dynamic link library nvcuda.dll
-deviceQuery.exe

all other programs crash
i updated to the 3.0 beta version of cuda and installed the drivers from the asus website and I do get some stuff working now.
I notice especially that the openCL device query works, but the cuda c-code device query does not
this application has failed to start because cudart32_30_8.dll was not found
the ocean example however does still not work in both cuda c samples and in direct compute samples
d3dx11_41.dll not found and cudart32_30_8.dll not found
it is not that no graphical stuff at all can be done. The n-body example works in CL, but fails in cuda c samples.
Anyone an idea where to look?
Hi, I met the same problem with you.
I think maybe the version of directx SDK is not correct. I use Aug,2009 version of DirectX SDK
Are you the same?
Anyone know how to solve it?
I tried all the latest versions, even beta 3. I have not got it working so far.
Hi,
You can solve it, by making a copy of C:\CUDA\bin\cudart32_30_14.dll and renaming the copy to cudart32_30_8.dll
Guys…you should download the driver at asus’s website…it’s available there
